Great Expectations

estella estranged. it makes no sense to hurt me on my mission of mercy
and angelic grace. i promised to leave you. i'm sure that i'll see you
again. in coeur d'alene. with the hearse stocked with dreams as i drive blind and scream
in the rain of yesterday. dying in fire. reborn on the pyre of stains.

i promised i'd be kind.
i promised i'd be strong.
i promised not to lie.
but breaking my promises doesn't take long-

good night.one step away
so nice. we are all dead
tonight. i tried to explain-
i tried. one less open grave.

and magwitch has said, "i've told you a secret. now you've got to keep it
away or die in shame." i guess that i'm dying, because every night i'm lying
awake and making plans. to bury estella for haughty demeanor
and plain old lack of faith. i should not have alarmed you but some objects are hard to obtain.

i promised i'd be cruel.
i promised i'd be wise.
i tried not to be a fool.
but try as we might some promises are lies

good night.one step away
so nice. we are all dead
tonight. i tried to explain-
i tried. one less open grave.

and getting on my way after the barter was so very much harder
than circumstances can explain. but fury compels us and history tells us
the ways that we can make tomorrow much brighter. one click of the lighter
and the way is lit with flames. avoid hesitation. these are great expectations to have.
