Lyrics

The Story That Never Starts

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

From the time we are born, the time we're alive

Waiting for our story to start

We practice all day, we practice all night

But we're waiting for our story to start

Then we're taught what is true, we're taught what is right

We're taught not to follow our heart

And then, the next thing we know, we're trapped in a place

Where the story will never start

On this trip we all bend; we bend and we break

We break all our pacts with ourselves

We merely try to survive and we drop all our goals

And put our dreams all on our shelves

And we're told our new goals, we're told our new dreams

They're nothing like the dreams we once held

And now to follow our dreams we have to buy all this crap

Fulfil the dreams of someone else

But don't let 'em check you, they're sucking the wrong brew

The cowards should not steer your life by their own fear

care what you are dreaming; the future is teeming

With stories that want to start

From the time we are born, the time of the life

Waiting for our story to start

We practice all day, we practice all night

But we're waiting for our story to start

Then we're taught what is true, we're taught what is right

We're taught not to follow our heart

And then, the next thing we know, we're trapped in a place

Where the story will never start

Don't let 'em check you, they're sucking the wrong brew

The cowards should not steer your life by their own fear

care what you are dreaming; the future is teeming

With stories that wait to start

Don't let 'em check you, they're sucking the wrong brew

The cowards should not steer your life by their own fear

care what you are dreaming; the future is teeming

With stories that wait to start
