“The world is a sacred vessel and it can not be controlled. You will only make it worse if you try. It may slip through your fingers and disappear.” - Tao Te Ching
lyrics
V1
The lonely boy and his fiction
On the pages of his soul
Only does what he’s fixin’ to
He knows we he will know
Living in two worlds at once
Of a reader and the tale
Nobody pays attention
To the pen within his hand

REFRAIN
In a story all his own

V2
As he writes upon pages
How the pen begins to swirl
Emulating his conscience
The story does unfurl
The look inside his eyes right then
Any mother would be scared
Taken over by fullness
Yet the emptiness is there

REFRAIN
In a story all his own

V3
Words start to come slowly
And the story starts to fade
Characters are not happy
And the plot, a twisty haze
Then he says “My God what have I
done? I’ve lost the point!
I am just a drunk architect
Of a building built for coins

REFRAIN 2
In a story all my own”

OUT
Then he closes the notebook
And puts away the pen
When he lifts up his head to look
He knows this is the end
