Advice from a Misanthrope Lyrics


A wise man once told me...

Never take advice from your parents

They want you all to themselves

You'll never live up to expectations

Never take advice from your siblings

The competition never ends

Never take advice from a stranger who isn't me

They can't commit to your well-being

Chorus:

As I watched the world crumble I knew exactly what he meant

But then all I could feel was sadness when I was left standing

Never take advice from your friends

Their place in life is all too temporary

Or from your partner

They will always leave in the end

Or from your boss

He owns your soul already anyway

But most importantly...

Never listen to yourself

The heart is often too confused to decide what it wants

Chorus

Bridge:

I've lost my way

No compass to be found

All directions are blurred

I've lost my way

No compass to be found

Even in desert sands I drown

Chorus
