Storytelling

Lyrics

Picture a scene in your mind
 Looks at all the people and take note of the setting behind
 Listen, watch, and wait
 A plot begins to take shape
 There's a story
 And then characters will come to you
 Relating events as they choose to
 But all their words and actions come entirely from you
 If you're a storyteller you might think you're without responsibility
 And you can lead your characters anywhere you want
 You have immunity
 Have you considered the way
 People might react to all the things that your characters say?
 And are their actions hand in hand with what you want to portray?
 Are you sick?
 Are you crippled? Insane?
 sponsored links
 Expressing the desires that daren't speak their name?
 Are you the one to be blamed?
 Now you're a storyteller you might think you are without responsibility
 But in directions, actions and words
 Cause and effect
 You need consistency
 How can you finish the tale?
 Lives which have played a part
 Are summarized from the very start
 And episodes left out to make it all go our way
 "It's a might big world
 Some of it I've seen
 But mostly I've only heard
 And stories are all fiction from their moment of birth"
 You're just a storyteller
 You're not trying to escape responsibility
 If we believe you then you're successful
 But you don't make claims of verity
