Bad Advice

Give all the bad advice you can, the kind I like to take
Are we not, satisfied with the price of our old mistakes?
If …
If adolescent crimes
Circumstance resigned
TAKE HOLD, TAKE SHAPE, BREAK THE MOLD
MANIFEST LATER IN LIFE (IN LIFE, IN LIFE)
YOU WEREN’T MEANT TO BE KING
But you wear the crown so well
IF YOU’RE MEANT TO BE KING
You better do what they tell you
YOU BETTER SELL WHAT THEY SELL
And you better sell it well
YOU CAN’T, YOU CAN’T BE EVERYTHING
To everyone
Give me a sign
Give me a reason to abandon the only place I call my home
You gave me away
And showed me the way
TO SUFFOCATE
SUFFOCATE MYSELF
The sick sacks of bad advice pile on, growing higher still
Higher than the bills, pills and the frequency of a senseless overkill
If …
If adolescent crimes
Circumstance resigned
TAKE HOLD, TAKE SHAPE, BREAK THE MOLD
MANIFEST LATER IN LIFE (IN LIFE, IN LIFE)
YOU WEREN’T MEANT TO BE KING
But you wear the crown so well
IF YOU’RE MEANT TO BE KING
You better do what they tell you
YOU BETTER SELL WHAT THEY SELL
And you better sell it well
YOU
YOU CAN’T BE EVERYTHING
To everyone
Give me a sign
Give me a reason to abandon the only place I call my home
You gave me away
And showed me the way
TO SUFFOCATE
SUFFOCATE MYSELF
(Right back where we started all over again)
OVER MEDICATE
OVER STIMULATE
OVER AND OVER AGAIN EXPECTING A NEW RESOLVE
OVER MEDICATE
OVER STIMULATE
OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL YOU LOSE YOURSELF
(THE YOU I KNEW IS GONE)
Give me a sign
Give me a reason to abandon the only place I call my home
You gave me away
And showed me the way
TO SUFFOCATE
SUFFOCATE MYSELF
Give all the bad advice you can, the kind I like to take
There’s nothing that I recognize
There’s nothing here that I can call mine
