about

no-one left behind

what happens when your best isn't good enough?

recrimination instead of accomplishment

give you enough rope...

and enough time

#all this will change

lyrics

Great Expectations

It must have been the worst time
For getting things accomplished
When everyone expects you to succeed
You could have been our saviour
But you’re too busy pointing fingers ‘stead of screaming for blood

It must have been the first time
But it wouldn’t be the last time
They left you hanging out there to dry
They could have crushed your spirit
But it’s far better when you get to do the crushing yourself

Try your best
To get around this helplessness, you
Blame yourself
For falling for futility and

You think that you’d do better
Ignorance is bliss
You think that you’d do better

And I know that you hope that everything might change
I hope you’re happy with nothing in your way

‘Cos I know that in time
You’ll be a stranger
I know that in time
You’ll be a stranger to me
To me
