Expected

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Steady Bass Pulse, Clean Guitar Chops, Organ Swells, Atmospheric Synth]
[Minimal Beat, Spoken Vocal]
Cause and effect…
(Connect the dots)
One thing leads…
(To quite a lot)

[Refrain]
This is expected
(After what we’ve erected)
Dejected…
(Being connected)
We did
(Yes, we did)

[Verse 1]
Tiny moments, little turns
Become lessons that life learns
Build it up and set it free
What comes next will surely be
Our signal leaves a trace
Moving through time and space

[Pre-Chorus]
What we make
(Can come back)
What we send
(Leaves a track)

[Chorus]
This is expected
(Not disconnected)
Our “just” cause
(Leaves it projected)

What we sow
(Starts to grow)
What we choose
(Starts to show)

This is expected
(After what we’ve erected)

[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Driving Bass, Organ Chords, Percussive Piano, Synth Lead]

[Verse 2]
What happens all alone?
It’s the seed have sown
Build a bridge or build a wall
Consequences reach us all
What appears from far away
Often comes back into play

[Bridge]
Round and round
(Here it goes)
What we plant
(Eventually grows)

Piece by piece
(Line by line)
Yesterday
(Becomes tomorrow’s sign)

[Final Chorus]
This is expected
(After what we’ve erected)
Dejected…
(Being connected)
We did
(Yes, we did)

Does the ending
(Have a start)
Does the whole
(Just fall apart)

This is expected…
(Not neglected)
Every pathway…
(Is connected)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Echo Guitar, Warm Organ, Fading Bass Pulse, Soft Synth Dissolve]
We did…
(Yes, we did)
Connected…
(Yes, we are)
Expected…
(After what we’ve erected)
