bad advice lyrics

[Verse 1]
You said “just listen to your heart”
And so I listened to my heart sing
It sang “all the people that you know
They know that you’re not one of them
All the people that you love just love a person you pretend
And so you run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Run away from them.”

[Verse 2]
You said “just find what you love and do it
You’ll never work a day in your life”
So I did what I loved and I got fired
I love nothing but to be desired
Each anxious day bleeds into another
I am ran through, I am tired

[Verse 3]
You said “just fake it till you make it”
So I faked it and I made some friends just like I wanted
But a human-being faked’s a cage a spirit lays and rots in
Through my one-way mirror
I sat and watched you play with your reflection
Gorilla biscuits in my headphones
Face down in bed, I-
I need a new direction
[Verse 4]
You said “kill the cop in your head”
So inside myself I sought the ways that I fell short
No room for second chances, despite the circ*mstances
That desperation for connection
And I found a child to try to kill by any means necessary
Remember, I see your struggle, friend
I see that bullsh*t that you carry

[Verse 5]
But just to see you in a new place
The shining sun on your quiet face
Late night, real talk, red wine in a coffee cup
It’s the miracle of this sh*tty winter to walk across the lake
But it warms my heart just to know
That you’re gonna tell me
When you feel like giving up
