Bad Advice

By Bruce Clifford

The way things were told to us was simply bad advice

The things we followed through with we should have never thought of them twice

Seeing lines through the window and minutes in the sky

Making love with madness as the days seem to pass us by

How did we get here to this place

Was it worth the time it took

Did we really need to take a look

The way things were told to us was simply bad advice

The makeup of this chemistry should have warned us to realize

Seeing daylight in the shadows as the memory soon fades

Wishing for this madness to go away so we can move on to better days

Bad advice

Why think twice

Bad advice

How did we get here to this place

Was it worth the time it took

Do we really need to take a look
