lyrics

"Great Expectations"
Time pressed, I never know what to say.
Sun kissed without a word, drink BLACK COFFEE!
With fear and dread, thats all she said.
So stoked on life but wonder, "Will I ever amount to anything?" (They say we've changed!)
But to what end remains the same?
I'm on cloud ten with all of my best friends.
I hear the door but I do nothing more.
This time I'll try.
Just say for words that you were wrong
This time i'll try.
Just say for truth that you were wrong.
I'm dead after forty hours fed to a job that I just don't enjoy.
When's the last time you had a Monday be the best day of the week?
With fear and dread, that's all she said.
