Story that I tell myself is everything
But it cannot be a lie because I'll know
Forking at the edge of where the ketchup is
Balancing my lighter on my phone
My water glass is empty and my head is in
A shallow, breathe a sigh from my nose
Talking to a fellow who is really me
Exactly like in Fight Club as it goes
No spoilers hands up yes but let me tell it please
Stand up, free your life of your coat
The story that I tell myself is everything
But it cannot be a lie because I'll know

Keep your head up in my arms
How long you been wondering
Whether it's longer safe
Down here when you need a friend

I stalled until the temperature was edible
I evaluate the wine with my nose
I saw a blast of weather past this restaurant
It's banging at the sign that says open
But the storm is in this seldom-helping beverage
You have to have a smile at the joke
The voices in my head will tell you anything
You have to be the guy that can say no
The story that I tell myself is everything
But it cannot be a lie because I'll know
Walking back on everything I've said to me
Like the ants all in a line that walk below
The door out back where chefs prepared this mess for me
Cast shadows in the light of my woes

The story that I tell myself is everything
But it cannot be a lie because I'll know
Talking cannot get us help from anywhere
Or I'd have to have a cry for what's at home
Let's all relax and settle into getting lit
I can't stand to realize I'm alone
The chalkboard had a special that looked very big
But the lasses had to wipe it off to closed
Talking of the headache and the senselessness
We have to have some wine for the road

The story that I tell myself is everything
But it cannot be a lie because I'll know
The story that I tell myself is everything
But it cannot be a lie because I'll know
