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 didn抰 tell her厀here I was going

I never quite remember why I do the things I do

When I抦 sick and tired 協or myself

She抯 the kind to sneak inside and twist your mind

You want to take a bite

but then you spit it outÃ¥Å'¢ 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抳e got to open up 卼his letter

Chorus

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

Tell me. What am I trying for?

You抳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 卆t all?

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

And sit by the fire and watch it burn卋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

YeahÃ¥Å'¶eahÃ¥Å'¶eahÃ¥Å'¶eah



(Chorus)



It抯 been seventeen nights and fourteen days that I抳e been alone

So I thought I抎 write you a letter

Just a letter
