Stories I Tell

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 some people expect there's a change
 When I feel I'm a part of something I can't see?
 And 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
 Stories I tell
 Stories I tell
 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
