Welcome that voice inside your head
that you once refused to hear.
Hear those truths and certainties
that drown you in your fear.

So that nothing's left but to be best friends
with your own worst enemy.
Let her lead you all the way
to that elusive remedy.

Fight fire with fire, tears with tears
Drown in the truth that frightens you
Emerge devoid of doubt or fear
Stop resisting what you know is true

This friend of a friend won't shy from telling you
that which you need to hear.
That deadly bird of the soul will take you
to a place where all is clear.

No need to pretend for your own sake
Let slip your mask of sanity
But try hard as you might, you don't break
The shackles of her vanity.
