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
