lyrics

Collections of time and pages from paperback lives
That turn in the blink of an eye
And you don't have time to decide

The moments we try to capture on kodachrome slides
The photographs holding those times
That bookend the chapters we live
And those that we write

We all try to write the biography
That we'd like to read and believe
Is real life and not just some fantasy
Sci-fi yeah you watch on tv

And all you let go for reasons you can't understand
You trade in the young for the old
And nothing quite goes like you'd planned

Oh collections of words we modify into a verse
And masquerade lives that we curse
You tell yourself "sure this ain't great,
but it could be worse"

We all try to write the biography
That we'd like to read and believe
Is real life and not just some fantasy
Sci-fi yeah you watch on tv

But you know what it's like when your mind goes on strike
And life may as well pass you by
And routines form circles that turn into hurdles
That turn into zeroes you're leaving behind

We all try to write the biography
That we'd like to read and believe
Is real life and not just some fantasy
Sci-fi yeah you watch on tv
We all try to write the biography
That we'd like to know as our own
And rewrite the pages of history
Or we might go out unknown
