Storytime by Voice Among The Many Lyrics
[Intro]
Standing here motionless
Dismissing the consequence
Wrapped in blanket of
Silent denial
The fun is to forget
[Verse 1]
Boardered up in the basement
My mind out of the room
Unchained but unable to move
Remember the tale heard in an echo
From a generation ago
Somehow etching its back way in my soul
I think I'm gonna stay down here
I think it has a somewhat better feel
Than wherever I would have to deal with whatever filled
This newly vacant space
I could just live a life
Without staring it directly in the eye
If I don't edify a need to pry
No cause to deny
[Chorus]
Don't ever let me bear what I can't describe
Shut it down in order to survive
It shouldn't ever be more than storytime
Instead of a part of my life
[Verse 2]
Suddenly without warning
I may have uttered a word
Small, discreet and specifically raw
But unfortunately heard
[Interlude]
One day I fear I'll utter more
[Chorus]
Don't ever let me bear what I can't describe
Shut it down in order to survive
It shouldn't ever be more than storytime
Instead of a part of my life
[Bridge]
A part of my life
(My life)
Instead of being a part of my life
(You'll never feel the same)
(You'll never bleach that stain)
You'll never feel the same
You'll never bleach that stain
You can't always look away
[Outro]
I could pray that it had all been paved
But every phrase makes it more engraved
So convex the concave
And verbalise everything stowed away
Standing here motionless
Dismissing the consequence
Wrapped in blanket of
Silent denial
The fun is to forget
[Verse 1]
Boardered up in the basement
My mind out of the room
Unchained but unable to move
Remember the tale heard in an echo
From a generation ago
Somehow etching its back way in my soul
I think I'm gonna stay down here
I think it has a somewhat better feel
Than wherever I would have to deal with whatever filled
This newly vacant space
I could just live a life
Without staring it directly in the eye
If I don't edify a need to pry
No cause to deny
[Chorus]
Don't ever let me bear what I can't describe
Shut it down in order to survive
It shouldn't ever be more than storytime
Instead of a part of my life
[Verse 2]
Suddenly without warning
I may have uttered a word
Small, discreet and specifically raw
But unfortunately heard
[Interlude]
One day I fear I'll utter more
[Chorus]
Don't ever let me bear what I can't describe
Shut it down in order to survive
It shouldn't ever be more than storytime
Instead of a part of my life
[Bridge]
A part of my life
(My life)
Instead of being a part of my life
(You'll never feel the same)
(You'll never bleach that stain)
You'll never feel the same
You'll never bleach that stain
You can't always look away
[Outro]
I could pray that it had all been paved
But every phrase makes it more engraved
So convex the concave
And verbalise everything stowed away
