Seventeen nights and fourteen days

I spent time in a hollow cave on the lower east side?he lower east side

A long way back to your front door I stepped inside

And on the floor was a letter??ust a letter

With my hands all wet I slowly bent

Had this twisted feeling inside my head

I didn? tell her?here I was going

I never quite remember why I do the things I do

When I? sick and tired ?or myself

She? the kind to sneak inside and twist your mind

You want to take a bite

but then you spit it out? 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?e got to open up ?his letter

Chorus

Free me. It? not worth dying for. If I gave a little more would this be fine?

Tell me. What am I trying for?

You?e 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 ?t all?

It? hard to hold back this raging desire to light it all up

And sit by the fire and watch it burn?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?ow I realize

Yeah?eah?eah?eah



(Chorus)



It? been seventeen nights and fourteen days that I?e been alone

So I thought I? write you a letter

Just a letter
