Lyrics
Stories I Tell
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.
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
What is a blessing and what is a dream
Caught between portraits and none's what it seems
Why is it people expect there's a change
When I feel I'm a part of something I can't see
I feel the same
Don't offer questions or I will retreat
Fame is a cancer and ego its seed
And I wasn't looking for Heaven or hell
Just someone to listen to stories I tell
Do we ever wonder?
Did you ever care?
Stories I tell (x3)
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
