Abney Park - The Story That Never Starts lyrics

From the time we are born
The time we're alive
Waiting for our story to start
We practice all day, we practice all night
But we're waiting for our story to start

Then we're taught what is true
We're taught what is right
We're taught not to follow our heart
And then, the next thing we know
We're trapped in a place
Where the story will never start

On this trip we all bend we bend and we break
We break all our pacts with ourselves
We merely try to survive and
We drop all our goals
And put our dreams all on our shelves
And we're told our new goals
We're told our new dreams
They're nothing like the dreams we once held
And now to follow our dreams we
Have to buy all this crap
Fulfil the dreams of someone else

But don't let 'em check you
They're sucking the wrong brew
The cowards should not steer your
Life by their own fear
Care what you are dreaming
The future is teeming
With stories that want to start

From the time we are born
The time of the life
Waiting for our story to start
We practice all day, we practice all night
But we're waiting for our story to start

Then we're taught what is true
We're taught what is right
We're taught not to follow our heart
And then, the next thing we know
We're trapped in a place
Where the story will never start

Don't let 'em check you
They're sucking the wrong brew
The cowards should not steer your
Life by their own fear
Care what you are dreaming
The future is teeming
With stories that wait to start

Don't let 'em check you
They're sucking the wrong brew
The cowards should not steer your
Life by their own fear
Care what you are dreaming
The future is teeming
With stories that wait to start
