Expect the Worst
Expecting the Shadows: Sea Elephant's Tale of Anticipating Life's Challenges
Lyrics
I've had one too many sad conversations
I've had numerous melancholic conversations
That led to moments of sorrow and years of frustration
Conversations that resulted in brief moments of sadness and prolonged feelings of dissatisfaction
Now when I get a text with more than four lines
When I receive a message consisting of more than four lines
I can only expect the worst
I can only anticipate negative outcomes
I can only expect the worst
-I've had one too many auto collisions
I've experienced multiple car accidents
Now whenever I drive, my head's filled with these visions
Whenever I drive, my mind is preoccupied with these distressing images
When I change a lane and there's a spot that I'm blind
When I change lanes and encounter a blind spot
I can only expect the worst
I can only foresee negative consequences
I can only expect the worst
-And I've never had a limb amputated
I've never experienced losing a limb
Never been so sick I need an organ donated
I haven't been so ill that I required an organ transplant
But when I get a cough or a scratch in my throat
But when I have a cough or throat irritation
I can only expect the worst
I can only anticipate the worst possible health scenario
I can only expect the worst
-And I've never had somebody stab me
I've never been physically assaulted by someone using a knife
Never had no kidnapper grab me
I've never been kidnapped
When someone stands to close in a line
When someone encroaches too closely in a queue
I can only expect the worst
I can only anticipate negative outcomes
Yeah I can only expect the worst
-Yeah I can only expect the worst
-Yeah I can only expect the worst
-Now it's a crazy world and we're all here together
It's an unpredictable world, and we are all here together
And you can say we're alone and it depends on the weather
Whether we feel isolated or not depends on external factors like the weather
You can give up now or fight to survive
We have a choice to give up or persevere for survival
And find out what it means to be alive
We should strive to understand the true essence of living
Now it's been some time since I've heard anything from you
It's been a while since I've received any communication from you
From stories I've heard I can't say that I trust you
Based on what I've heard about you, I'm unsure about trusting you
You're moving around with some bad human beings
You are associating with questionable individuals
And I can only expect the worst
I can only anticipate negative outcomes from your current associations
I can only accept the worst
I can only accept and prepare for the worst
