Telling Stories

There is fiction in the space between 
The lines on your page of memories 
Write it down but it doesn't mean 
You're not just telling stories 

There is fiction in the space between 
You and reality 
You will do and say anything 
To make your everyday life 
Seem less mundane 
There is fiction in the space between 
You and me 

There's a science fiction in the space between 
You and me 
A fabrication of a grand scheme 
Where I am the scary monster 
I eat the city and as I leave the scene 
In my spaceship I am laughing 
In your remembrance of your bad dream 
There's no one but you standing 

Leave the pity and the blame 
For the ones who do not speak 
You write the words to get respect and compassion 
And for posterity 
You write the words and make believe 
There is truth in the space between 

There is fiction in the space between 
You and everybody 
Give us all what we need 
Give us one more sad sordid story 
But in the fiction of the space between 
Sometimes a lie is the best thing 
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
