I have two words for this song: word vomit. I basically had some piano lines I wanted to work into a song. Coupled with the emotions I had during the time over current events, this is what I came up with.
I wasn't singing any pre-prepared lyrics. Basically, I had some piano riffs I wanted to put in a song so I decided to waste no time in just singing over them. What I ended up singing turned out to be inspired by emotions I was harbouring due to the current events of the day.
And the story never ends with happy endings all the time and
And the bedtime stories that you heard when you were young were never
That so much as true as the moments in everyday life
Knowing that it is all just tragic ending doesn't tell you much
Every moment of the glory that is lost on
All these moments
Sowing
Knowing in time now
And you will think life's not right
So many injustices
Why do we have to fight it?!
All the vain glories of those that have no cause
Those that we cannot make so much sense of
And every time that you will tell me
Life's this and life's that
Why don't you just shove it up your...
Because the story never simply ends with
Jack and Jill holding hands
And the story doesn't make the world go so round as you think it does
And the story is not five pages long with a
Storybook ending
This is the reality you have to face!
