Low Expectations (EP Version) Lyrics by Oblio

Square Peg

2014

You cynical fool, open up your eyes
There were days when we dreamed, now you don't even try
I partake, you partook, and developed my fears
All my lost hopes fill up inside here

You know the place you're headed, I can't see where you're taking me
The hopes and dreams for your life... they don't occur, or I can't see
(I can't see)

Partially protected, but I'm open at the flank
Tried to be leader, but the fish head stank
Got a lot of muscle, but my head's too strong
I've been living pretty good, it probably won't last me too long

You know the place you're headed, I can't see where you're taking me
The hopes and dreams for your life... they don't occur, or I can't see

I wanna be the lover of a girl like no other
I wanna be good so I can stay out of hell
I try to learn my lessons, but I don't know why I bother
'cause it probably won't go that well

Of all my faults and failures, the two I love the most
She's the hole inside my head, and He's the Holy Ghost
From all this celebration, the poisons I misuse
No more lying for the wolf boy, no more poor excuse

You know the place you're headed, I can't see where you're taking me
The hopes and dreams for your life... they don't occur

Love me… I don't know if you do… So I'll wait and see
Hate me… if you knew me like I do, then probably
Take me down... to the low side of my pride and the gates of hell
Where I'd buy back my soul, but it probably won't go that well
