My Only Friend Lyrics by Anthony Robustelli

Comfort Is So Rare

2000

This is an NBC News hotline special report
As paranoia sets in
The shelter’s quickly built
To hide behind a barricade of alcohol and guilt
When you wear a mask for too long
Your face starts to conform
And when the mask is removed a new face is quickly born
Days pass into months
Months pass into years
Why am I still hiding? There’s nothing left to fear
Chances of life outside the tomb are slim
The skeletons are adding up outside along the rim
Glasses shatter
The flesh is dead
And now my only friend the pen projects just what she said
Before the fun was over I know it’s such a pity
And now I’m on the run from Mexico City
I rarely see the light of day
I rarely see a soul
I step out when the sun goes down
And it’s starting to take its toll
I’ve built up my defenses
For what? I still don’t know
The wall wear I bang my head has become another fole
Why do I hide in this God forsaken place?
My life would be in shambles if I ever showed my face
Stupid drunken night and a stupid drunken game
Slip of the trigger finger and
Nothing’ll be the same
Glasses shatter
The flesh is dead
And now my only friend the pen projects just what she said
Before the fun was over I know it’s such a pity
And now I’m on the run from Mexico City
Glasses shatter
The flesh is dead
And now my only friend the pen projects just what she said
Before the fun was over I know it’s such a pity
Now I’m on the run from Mexico City
