Caligari - Advice From a Misanthrope

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
