My Friend Lyrics

And do you look at me to gaze into my madness?
The eye in me dwells within my sadness
Would you believe in what I say and trust in what I do?
For my words are not like yours, I am not like you
You can't know my lonely thoughts, I would not have you know
Your thoughts would be a crowded place, and mine would be alone
When it is day, with you my friend, night-time is my home
Yet you speak of sunshine, I'd be with night alone
When you speak of heaven I descend to hell
Even when you call to me you cannot see my hell
The flames would burn your eyes out, smoke would fill your home
I would not have you visit me, I'm in hell alone
You are good and wise, no! It's never known
But I would mask my madness and would be mad alone
When it is day, with you my friend, night-time is my home

Yet you speak of sunshine, I'd be with night alone
You like truth and beauty, and I don't really know
You wish to see your laughter, but I would laugh alone
You are inapt my friend, but how could you understand?
We do not walk the same path, yet we walk hand in hand
When you speak of heaven I descend to hell
Even when you call to me you cannot see my hell
The flames would burn your eyes out, smoke would fill your home
I would not have you visit me, I'm in hell alone
