about

Written on 19th August 2021 as part of a song-a-day month. It speaks about the ever evolving narratives we have about one another and how ultimately WE are the ones that create all of the stories of our lives, moment by moment. And these stories can forever be changed.

lyrics

LYRICS:

I created a story
I was the heroine, you were the foe
And as this tale goes you had an army
Readying their men to prepare fire

I created a story
I was the reverent, you were the wild
The battle that you laid would surely harm me
And so I built my wall to keep you out

But if I made it up then surely it could be unmade
And if it was a dream alone then you are not to blame
And if I am the writer and I set aside my pen
Then maybe I might have a chance to see you new again

So I surrendered in the story
You are innocent and I am tired
So sleeping with abandon is my ploy now
For I am benevolent and you are fine

And if I made it up then surely it could be unmade
And if it was a dream alone then you are not to blame
And if I am the writer and I set aside my pen
Then maybe I might have a chance to see you new again
