Telling Stories Lyrics

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 me



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 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

Your 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 fiction of the space between

Sometimes a lie is the best thing

Sometimes a lie is the best thing
