Great Expectations

2025-08-22T18:25:50Z

'scuse me, Mr. Dickens, I've got something on my mind
I've tried but I can't seem to let it go
Lately I've been thinking about that little orphan boy
Who's parents died and left him all alone

Then an outlaw came one fateful day
While standing at his parent's grave
And offered him another way to climb
And I wonder
Is that orphan's story mine?

All these great expectations
Meet these grave revelations
Am I the one in control?
Is it all predetermined?
Am I playing a role
Part of a story foretold?

Darrel was on his way up in the world
Everyone knew he'd go far
But life came along, it had different plans
How quickly a dream falls apart

Johnny has no kind of chance in this world
Not from where he's had to start
Who knows how far in this life he could go
If he played a different part

I look around at all of my friends
And still I feel alone
I would follow them to battle
But their story's not my own

They say there's strengths in numbers
But they never think it out
About a path that leads you out
Beyond these city walls

I've got great expectations
Great expectations
Great expectations
Great expectations

Torn between what is and what could be
It's hard to write the story
When the story's writing me

When this great expectation
Meets this grave revelation
Maybe this cover's not yours
When your book's full of creases
And you see that the grease is
Telling a story
But you've read that one before
So you fight just to show them
That you're not all the same
That under the covers
There's more

Skyfall

2025-03-03T01:34:30Z

This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the Earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again
For this is the end
I've drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue, I owe them
Swept away, I'm stolen

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At Skyfall
At Skyfall

Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and days are dark
You may have my number, you can take my name
But you'll never have my heart
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
At Skyfall

Where you go, I go
What you see, I see
I know I'd never be me
Without the security
Of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in my hand
And we'll stand

Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
Let the sky fall (let the sky fall)
When it crumbles (when it crumbles)
We will stand tall (we will stand tall)
Face it all together
At Skyfall

Let the sky fall
We will stand tall
At Skyfall
Ooh

Wanted Dead or Alive

2022-09-30T15:01:35Z

It's all the same, only the names will change
Every day, it seems we're wastin' away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home

I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
The people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone, well, all you do is think

I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive
Wanted (wanted), dead or alive

Oh, and I ride
Yeah

Oh, I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

And I walk these streets, a loaded six-string on my back
I play for keeps 'cause I might not make it back
I've been everywhere, still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all

'Cause I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive

'Cause I'm a cowboy
I got the night on my side
And I'm wanted (wanted), dead or alive
And I ride (and I ride), dead or alive
I still drive (I still drive), dead or alive

Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive

Safer

2021-06-13T16:57:55Z

I know that I have issues,
I face them, I swear.
Think I overcome them
Then turn - they're still there.

Wish that I was different
I'd like to let go.
But when I try to change
There's my past, saying no.

Maybe it's all 'cause of dad,
His new kids, his new wife
Or why not just blame mom
Who's been nuts my whole life...

When you've felt so alone since
The moment of birth
And you're struggled to find
Your own true sense of worth

When it seems there is no one
Across this whole earth
To depend upon, you carry on
Just like you always do

'Cause it's safer to rely on you.
Oh, it's safer to rely on you.

Seen a million movies
All selling true love.
Fantasies I'm not sure
That I'm worthy of.

Caution to the wind
My heart's been on display.
Still the end result is
It's not gone my way.

So when I date some new guy
Who's a deadbeat or jerk
At least I'm not so crushed
When it all doesn't work...

When you once, unafraid,
Wore your heart on your sleeve
And the ones that you loved
Chose to just turn and leave

Every day it gets harder to
Somehow believe
You will survive, so you strive
Just to keep up your guard

'Cause it's safer to hold every card.
Oh, it's safer to hold every card.

I feel out of control
I feel safe on the ground.
I go building up walls
Yet I wish to be found.

A true contradiction to which I am bound
As I keep on spinning around and around...

And I look at the people
Who've worked it all out
And I wonder why I'm still
A bundle of doubt and sometimes
I wanna just stand up and shout...

"Just commit and deal with it
Before your life flies by...
Don't let your life fly by..."

But is it safer?
Maybe it's safer
If I don't try

Everything I Thought I Knew

2020-12-22T22:36:00Z

I thought I was an outcast
I thought I stood alone
A rogue, a thief, a joker
No place to call my own
I thought no one could love me
And how could I have known I was wrong
Oh so wrong

And then I thought I found it
A dream that I could share
I thought I was so lucky
It almost wasn't fair
I thought I knew my purpose
I thought that I knew where I belong
But I was wrong

Everything I ever thought I knew
Where I've been, where I'm going
Everything I counted on turned out to be untrue
Could've guessed, should've known
Now I do

Everything I've yearned for
Everything I planned
All my sweetest memories were castles made of sand
Now that it's all crumbling, help me understand
If none of it was really me, then who am I suppose to be?

And everything I ever thought I knew
Every hope, every feeling
Love and trust and happiness
They're done, they're gone, they're through
And what's left, me alone
Once again, should've known
Now I do

I guess my life meant nothing
I guess it was a sham
I guess I'm someone else now
I wonder who I am

I'd Rather Be Me

2019-05-01T19:36:11Z

So your best friend screwed you over
Acted nice when she's not nice
Well, I have some advice
‘Cause it's happened to me. Twice
Here's my secret strategy
It always works because
The world doesn't end
It just feels like it does

So raise your right finger
And solemnly swear
"Whatever they say about me
I don't care!"

I won't twist in knots to join your game
I will say, "you make me mad."
And if you treat me bad
I'll say "you're bad"
And if I eat alone from this moment on
That's just what I'll do

‘Cause I'd rather be me, I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me than be with you

We're supposed to all be ladies
And be nurturing and care
Is that really fair?
Boys get to fight, we have to share
Here's the way that turns out
We always understand
How to slap someone down
With our underhand

So here's my right finger
To how girls should behave
'Cause sometimes what's meant to break you
Makes you brave

So I will not act all innocent
I won't fake apologize
Let's just fight and then make up
Not tell these lies
Let's call our damage even
Clean the slate till it's like new

It's a new life for me, where I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me, than be with you

I'll say, "NO!"
NO!
I'll say, "knock it off,
with your notes and your rules and your games."
And those sycophants who follow you
I'll remember all their names
And when they drag you down
Like they inevitably do
I will not laugh along with them and
Approve their palace coup, ‘cause that's not me

I don't need their good opinions
I have plenty of opinions
Everybody has opinions but it doesn't make them true
What's true is being me
And I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me than be with you.

So raise them high ‘cause playing nice and shy is insulting my IQ
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
I'd Rather Be Me
I'd Rather Be Me
I'd Rather Be Me than be with you!
I'd Rather Be Me
I'd Rather Be Me
I'd Rather Be Me than be with you!

Who Am I?

2019-04-24T14:45:29Z

I awake to silver walls
and single digit centigrade
a sheet over my body
and a tag upon my toe
in the air the smell of ozone
in my mind is just a void
I'll go where answers can be found
kick the door and smash it down

As I walk these halls how my mind races
Widened eyes inside of staring faces
But none of them can fill these empty spaces
Who am I?

Lightning flashes in from shattered windows
as I'm wandering
bare feet on a concrete floor
with rain beneath my toes
in these crooked mirrors
there's a face that I don't recognize
on my knees oh how I cry
arms spread wide, eyes to the sky

Is this all as strange as it is seeming?
Was I dead or was I only dreaming?
Up into the thunder I am screaming
Who am I?

I remember red fields and a city domed in glass
I was charged with a vital task
Red fields and a home that's far away
I remember
I remember Gallifrey

La la la...

Now my story's no longer suspended
Now my greatest foe must be prevented
Here at last the answer is presented
Who am I
Who am I

You Don't Need to Love Me

2018-12-04T23:22:18Z

You don't need to love me
Or tell me that you do
Don't make me any promises
Just promise we're not through
Don't give me one damn thing
I won't let you call this greed
Just let me give to you
that's the only thing I need
I know that this can work
if you'd plant one simple seed
You'd see it grow
You don't need to love me
To know

You don't need to need me
It's better that you don't
If each of us can walk away
It won't matter that I won't
We'll both be self-contained,
but together, not alone
You can keep me in the dark,
hell, it's all I've ever known
But we both could use a friend,
who will always check the phone and take the call
You don't need to need me
At all

Let me be your emergency contact
Your occasional plus-one
Your excuse to take a sick day
When the forecast calls for sun

We can keep on being lonely
But we don't have to be apart
And I'll never even ask you
To let me have your heart

So I'll never break your heart
No, I'll never break your heart

You don't need to love me
To let me help you through
You don't need to confide in me
I've got crap enough for two
You don't need to answer
I'll know before you do
But hear me
And believe me
That you don't need to love me
The way that I love you

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

2018-06-07T14:38:05Z

Baby, do you understand me now?
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong I feel real bad.
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that, all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know,
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems, and I get my share,
And that's one thing I never mean to do
Cause I love you,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, baby - don't you know I'm human
I have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself, Lord, regretting
Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

Waving Through A Window

2018-04-27T15:37:35Z

I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me
Give them no reason to stare
No slipping up if you slip away
So I got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say

Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?

'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?

We start with stars in our eyes
We start believing that we belong
But every sun doesn't rise
And no one tells you where you went wrong

Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?

'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving?

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
It's like I never made a sound
Will I ever make a sound?
On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?

'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me? (oh)
Is anybody waving?
Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
