How The Story Goes

Once upon a time there was a man
And that man, that man was mean

Sly man driving a white van
Just an old man to all that knew him

Once upon a time there was a girl
And she, she disappeared from sight

Once upon a time they heard her cries
The blaring sirens sound

Once upon a time they forwent the warning
And failed
Cause that's how the story goes

Sun is up
Lights are shining
Can you hear the pen
Rewriting

Clouds show up
Lights are dimmed
Can you see the pen being dropped

Rain is pouring
Light is gone and the earth cries

Can you notice the despair that follows
No say, no heroes
But that's how the story goes

The book is breaking
We all know why
Cause our liberties were denied

The glass is cracking down the middle
And the rope has snapped

It’s frayed, it’s destroyed
Cause the tether was tied to a blind man
Now you know the story
How the story goes

Close the book

Sun is up
Lights are shining
Can you hear the pen rewriting

Clouds show up
Lights are dimmed
Can you see the pen being dropped

Rain is pouring
Light is gone and the earth cries
Can you notice the despair that follows
No say no heroes

But that's how the story goes

Oh cover slammed shut
You run away

Sly man, old man, white van

Play

Glass is shattered
Tether snapped

Sun is up
Lights are shining
Can you hear the pen rewriting

Clouds show up
Lights are dimmed
Can you see the pen being dropped

Rain is pouring
Light is gone and the earth cries
Can you notice the despair that follows
No say no heroes
That's just how the story goes

That's just how the story goes
