Stories I Tell

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Don't give me answers or I would refuse Yes is a word for which I have no use And I wasn't looking for Heaven or Hell Just someone to listen to stories I tell, yeah [Verse 2] What is a blessing? What is a dream? Caught between portraits and none's what it seems Why is it some people expect there's a change When I feel I'm a part of something I can't see? And I feel the same [Verse 3] Don't offer questions or I will retreat Fame is a cancer and ego its seed [Refrain] And I wasn't looking for Heaven or Hell Just someone to listen to stories I tell [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Do we ever wonder? Did you ever care? Stories I tell Stories I tell Stories I tell [Verse 4] Subtle salvation in poems and prose Hiding our heads in some shadow of home And I wasn't looking for wreaths or for bells Just someone to listen to stories I tell Stories I tell Stories I tell [Breakdown] Stories [Outro] Stories I tell Stories I tell Stories I tell Stories I tell [Instrumental Break]
