Expectations

from ODDBIRD by Wren Dove Lark

lyrics

I remember well
How they told me I’d go to hell
I had just hatched from my shell
And was overwhelmed
By all the sounds
And these colors
And these expectations on me x 3
That came from you
They came from you x 5

And I felt your love
In the form of a shove
Off a cliff
After which I flew above
All the sounds
And these colors
And these expectations on me (on me) x 3
They follow me
Every day x 4
I hear you say x 2

And
You tell me the choices you’ve made
And the choices you’re making
You’re a slave to them all x 2
You better beware
Of the choices you’ll make
‘Cause we’re all made to fall
Yeah we’re all made to fall
Your foundation’s cracking
Your judgement is lacking
And you choose for your choices
To be made by those tracking
The choices you’ve made
And the choices you’re making
And back to them you’ll choose to crawl

Hold up.
Let me try to put it a different way.
I don’t know.
There’s like a cacophony within me
That I wish you could hear for just a second

On me
These expectations on me x7
They look like ants from this high up
And I’d fly to the end of the world
Just to make them stop
