Stories and Fables

There are no stories I can tell
No words could make up for how I feel
Who wants fables if happy ends don’t come true
Should I play pretend, should I fool you?

There’s no escape door I could open
All I have is what’s left unspoken
All the things you never heard me say
Create the songs that make you stay

So many novels, so much poetry
Not one reflects this unclear mentality
No one wants a movie with an end all rushed through
Should I play pretend should I follow you

Thеre’s no escape door I could opеn
All I have is what’s left unspoken
All the things you never heard me say
Create the songs that make you stay

When we parted at the gates
No, I didn’t hesitate
There’d still be more days
But those times never came
No one wants fairy tales where the witches still rule
Should I play pretend should I fool you

There’s no escape door I could open
All I have is what’s left unspoken
All the things you never heard me say
Can’t get away

There’s no vine to the sky
Strong enough to climb
No safe path through the woods
Guiding to the golden goose
Every orchard is sagging with poison fruit
These warm visions in flame
Harsh winters will claim
Wet and freezing here, calling your name
All the things you’d never hear me say
Create the songs that make you stay

There’s no escape door I could open
All I have is what’s left unspoken
All the things you never heard me say
Create the songs that make you stay
