Can I tell you a story
what if it hurts you
what if it hurts us
what if you tell someone
Can I tell you a story?
Can you promise me it won't change anything?
I don't think you can
because a story can change everything
A story can turn you insane
Not knowing will drive you insane
So telling a story
is like a game of Russian roulette
but what if
there was no story
then there is no meaning
then there is nothing
nothing
