Stories I Tell Lyrics - Fear - Toad The Wet Sprocket

Don't give me answers for 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 

Now what is a blessing and what is a dream 

Caught between portraits and none's what it seems 

Why is it some would 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 ask me questions or I will retreat 

Fame is a cancer and ego it's seed 

And I wasn't looking for heaven or hell 

Just someone to listen to stories I tell 

Do we ever wonder? 

And do you ever care 

Stories I tell, stories I tell 

Stories I tell 

Subtle salvation in poems and prose 

Hiding our heads in a 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 

Stories 

Stories I tell, stories I tell 

Stories I tell, stories I tell
