I Made Myself A Friend Lyrics by Joshua Bond

There’s Nothing in the Bushes

2021

I made myself a friend, I made him out of twigs and ash and clay
And sometimes I pretend he says exactly what I'm wanting him to say
He always says just what I needed to hear
He leans right in close and he whispers in my ear
And then suddenly all of my troubles disappear
Because I know the happiest ones had to fight to get there
I made myself a friend, made him out of sawdust and tears
Sometimes I pretend I've known him for many, many years
Wе talk and reminisce about all the good timеs we've had
I fix him when he crumbles and he calms me when I'm sad
And if ever I'm in trouble, if my thinking drives me mad
Well then I'll know I've never been alone, but it sure don't feel that way
Well I made myself a friend, made him out of tin cans and wire
Well I made myself a friend, melted down and forged him in a fire
Well I made myself a friend, made him out of iron pots and pans
Well I made myself a friend, made him with my bare goddamn hands
Oh I made myself a friend, I know he isn't real
Even I cannot pretend you can make love out of steel
But something isn't proper, no the metal's gone cold
There's green spots in the copper and there's pyrite in the gold
If the omnipotent powers choose to let me grow old
Well then all know the loneliest ones praise the setting sun and I just can't look away
