Telling Stories - What If This Dream Is All We Have?

There is fiction in the space between The lines on your page of memories Write it down but it doesn't mean You're not just telling stories There is fiction in the space between You and reality You will do and say anything To make your everyday life Seem less mundane There is fiction in the space between You and me There's a science fiction in the space between You and me A fabrication of a grand scheme Where I am the scary monster I eat the city and as I leave the scene In my spaceship I am laughing In your remembrance of your bad dream There's no one but you standing Leave the pity and the blame For the ones who do not speak You write the words to get respect and compassion And for posterity You write the words and make believe There is truth in the space between There is fiction in the space between You and everybody Give us all what we need Give us one more sad sordid story But in the fiction of the space between Sometimes a lie is the best thing Sometimes a lie is the best thing Oh, the best thing Is the best thing

Okay, it's time to get it straight with you I'm trying to tell the truth or to be honest I've been feeling like a ton of bricks I can be such a prick I'm sorry, thanks for being here Nobody ever listens to me Emily loves her job, she loves her health, yeah She says it feels good To love just a little bit of yourself I know she's right, but it's hard to tell 'Cause I wouldn't know how it feels You cry yourself to sleep some times You can't win Don't waste my time telling stories I've wasted mine, and it was right now It's been ten years standing at the bus stop Never had a real job Never had anything on a plate It's a shame It's not the things you know, it's the friends you make And Jack didn't know shit He got far, but he didn't know when to quit Showing off, but he's gotta get a grip, yeah Jack just can't live without it Don't be a man about it now If you hold it in, you gotta let it out You gotta help yourself put the bottle down If you try You might like what you find to see Don't waste my time telling stories I've wasted mine, and it was right now It's been ten years standing at the bus stop Never had a real job Never had anything on a plate It's a shame It's not the things you know, it's the friends you make Everybody else Everybody only talks about themselves Have you ever felt lost in a window Desperate to be loved and just been thrown out Ten years standing at the bus stop Never had a real job Never had anything One more night dying on the inside Now I'm trying to get it right Is anybody listening? Don't waste my time telling stories I've wasted mine, and it was right now It's been ten years standing at the bus stop Never had a real job Never had anything on a plate It's a shame It's not the things you know, it's the friends you make It's a shame It's not the things you know, it's the friends you make It's not the things you know, it's the friends you make
