Seventeen nights and fourteen days I spent
time in a hollow cave on the lower east
side...the lower east side A long way back to
your front door I stepped inside And on the
floor was a letter...just a letter With my
hands all wet I slowly bent Had this twisted
feeling inside my head I didn't tell
her...where I was going I never quite remember
why I do the things I do When I'm sick and
tired ...for myself She's the kind to sneak
inside and twist your mind You want to take a
bite but then you spit it out...I 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? I've got to open
up ...this letter Chorus Free me. It's not
worth dying for. If I gave a little more would
this be fine? Tell me. What am I trying
for? You've 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
...at all? It's hard to hold back this raging
desire to light it all up And sit by the fire
and watch it burn...but 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...now I
realize Yeah...Yeah...Yeah...Yeah
(Chorus)
It's
been seventeen nights and fourteen days that I've
been alone So I thought I'd write you a
letter Just a letter
