Dont Show Me The Way

I'll be trying to obliterate
I'll end up there again
I've been stuck in this routine ever since I don't know when
I'll wake up alive
Relieved or in pain
In a panic like the nurse who keeps missing the vein

Don't show me the way

With your dodgy directions
I'll get lost anyway

You'll always have a word
Of advice to spare
Don't show me the way
If you haven't been there

Is your life that uneventful?
So little to do?
Why is how I get there so important to you?

You see me hesitate
You insist I use your map
I know where I'm going
So just give me a gap
Please get off my back
I've already done the course
I don't need a rider
I'm not that kind of horse

You offered your shoulder, but I wore a smile
You become paranoid and you criticise my style
So let's drink a toast
Rise to the occasion
I still feel like death from emotional starvation
