VERSE ONE
Look at me like a silhouette
Round out the corners of your protagonist
Out from the shadows
Fade from black, I am back
And here I’ll stay
CHORUS
Doing my best to pick up speed
Watch with your ears and you will see
These great expectations won’t hold me
VERSE TWO
I’ve been bent, I’ve been broken
But I hope into a better shape
Dickens said it best
Suppose he prophesied my fate
If these years are my novel
Read the pages in between
I hear the story picks up after chapter eighteen
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Rumours bounce off the wall
Like we’re in a concert hall
Defy, exceed, I’m on my knees
The truth lies scattered in these A, B, C’s
VERSE THREE
Standing here before you
Riding this train down the tracks
When I decided to go rogue
Risk and reward filled my backpack
I’ll give you my love, I’ll give you pain
Here’s the fruition of my right brain
Don’t judge this book without knowing how it ends
CHORUS
