Welcome old friend
to my company yet again
it's been a while since I've seen you
I know you've been busy
getting on with your life
never calling though you feel you need to

I know you can't see me
for who I am really
can't see past the maudlin veiling
you've yet to suss out
all your vain self-destruction 
the designs behind all of your failing

so allow me to please introduce myself
I'm who you always have known
I am the reason you're eating your dinner alone

my name is unnameable
and I am unframeable
in all of your constructs and theory
I am the reason
your thoughts and your passions
are weary

keep singing your little blues
I'll stay on as your muse
and sometimes I will serve as your master
I'm the hole in your wallet
the rat in your garbage
the yellow that's eating your plaster

keep keeping your distance
for all your resistance
you only keep bringing me nearer
for I am the bringer
of all your aloofness and fear

yeah, my name is unnameable
and I am unframeable
in all the self-portraits of vanity
I'm the friend you neglected
the stranger ignored
I'm the face you put on for your family

allow me to please introduce myself
I am he who you always have known
I am the reason you don't want to leave here alone
all your words
are amusing me greatly
but you’ll never persuade me
that you can't get blood from a stone

I don't want you to think
that I have nothing better
than to sit here with you in the gloom
so soon I'll be leaving
to remind someone else of their doom

don't worry old comrade
I'm never too far
to return to your side all asudden
so live it up lively
when I am away
cause you never know when
this dead flower is gonna be budding

allow me to please introduce myself
I am he who you always have known
I am the reason you think you are better off alone
save your words
for someone who's listening
you'll never convince me
that you can't get blood from a stone
