1.The Letter

Seventeen nights and fourteen days
I spent time in a hollow cave on the lower east side卼he lower
east side
A long way back to your front door I stepped inside
And on the floor was a letter卝ust a letter
With my hands all wet I slowly bent
Had this twisted feeling inside my head
I didnæ° tell heråhere I was going
I never quite remember why I do the things I do
When Iæ¦ sick and tired åor myself
Sheæ¯ the kind to sneak inside and twist your mind
You want to take a bite
But then you spit it outå¢ spit it out again
On a solitary chair she placed in the corner
If I gather up the strength and get a little bolder
Will I open up? Iæ³e got to open up 卼his letter
Chorus
Free me. Itæ¯ not worth dying for. If I gave a little more
would this be fine?
Tell me. What am I trying for?
Youæ³e already slammed the door and left me behind.

After counting all the words I felt your pain
But I had to sit down and read it again
To let it sink in. Did it sink in åt all?
Itæ¯ hard to hold back this raging desire to light it all up
And sit by the fire and watch it burnåut now the tables turn
The only way back to the way it began
Is to take another look and try to understand
See it through your eyes卬ow I realize
Yeahå¶eahå¶eahå¶eah

(Chorus)

Itæ¯ been seventeen nights and fourteen days that Iæ³e been
alone
So I thought Iæ write you a letter
Just a letter
