Misguided (ft. Alias)

I've taken another turn

and I'll show you the page

I still believe

that if things can change

that they change for the better of it

if progress means more

then I'm simply misguided

[x2]

I've taken another turn

and I'll show you the page

one of has-been burns

the other one has been reformed

you never know when you'll be makin' your last b-side

I could be workin' on it right now as i write

eventually I'll retreat back to the salty air town

and be the stereotypical sailor of music

or chain-smoking in the studio

mad at the world

looking back to the could-of-beens or should-of-beens

and asking what I would-of-been

now uh-oh what was what but me

here to make chest cavity

glasses on hand

staring blankly out to congress street

telling tales of what had happened

I'd rather have a path such as this

than have the two teenagers with trendy haircuts wipe

an eye

we're all some denomination to sunday

forgiveness to justify our sweet sins

me deciding what tie I should wear

to match my briefcase and dress socks

surrounded by the work clock lines and instant coffee

you think this is a goal that summons more haunting

than dot-dot-dot

it's a virus in the minds of robot-bot-bot-bot-bots

who aren't aware that the folks in the row

doing what they're told

and no matter how many times I touch it it's so

frightening to me

just imagine a life of looking forward to that

Disneyland vacation

and that obedient golden retreiver

let's all hop in the mid-life crisis car

and drive off to forgetting perfect life, perfect

kids,

perfect husband-and-wife

so it's fitting that an imperfect person is sitting

and happy

without the would-of-beens or could-of-beens or

should-of beens

well I still believe that if things can change

that they change for the better

if progress means more

than I'm simply misguided
