EXPECTATIONS Lyrics

Stare at the ceilings gradient

Stomach turned by the radiant

That I'm a no one and impatient

A quick and easy replacement

My engine running low on oil

My heart thrown out with all the spoils

I was struck down by life's recoil

Left in hell for my skin to boil

Too focused on everyone else

Forgot to take care of myself

I am emptier than bullet shells

But I did it all to myself

Aperture lowers until I'm gone

Lost bits of my soul in these songs

Time in this mortal shell prolongs

Until I'm sent to where I belong

Wither away expectations

Throw away my reputation

Need prayer and meditation

To stop all my degradation

Wither away expectations

Throw away my reputation

And chance of accreditation

And accept the devastation

Fame is famine to my spirit

The end is soon I can feel it

World in flames but still hear crickets

I'm terrified can't conceal it

Shaken to the bone below skin

Polluted by guilt and my sins

We all got a date with the grim

Do you know what you will tell him

Wither away expectations

Throw away my reputation

Need prayer and meditation

To stop all my degradation

Wither away expectations

Throw away my reputation

And chance of accreditation

And accept the devastation
