Suncat and Orville rock out. A song about frustration.

lyrics

Tell You A Story
(Suncat, Orville)

You ask me questions
But you don’t listen to the answers.
You tell me time and time again
that you know I’m lyin’.
I get so tired
Of goin’ through the same old dances.
So if I give you what you want to hear
Maybe you’ll stop tryin’....

I wanna tell you a story,
I’m gonna spin you a tale.
I’m gonna weave it out of whole cloth, baby,
’Cause the truth’s gotten oh so stale;
I’ll tell you a story
And I’ll make it real good
And then maybe you’ll treat me
Like you know you should.

My mother told me
That honesty was fundamental,
That if I would always tell the truth
My life would be just fine;
But now I know that
She was just bein’ sentimental
’Cause if you try to speak the truth these days
It’s trouble all down the line;

Nobody wants to hear it,
They’d rather believe the lies.
Nobody wants to see it,
They’d rather close their eyes.
They know everything they want to know
And their knowledge was bought with pain,
So the very last thing they want to do
Is to ever have to think again...

I wanna tell you a story,
Full of excitement and thrills,
You won’t listen to the plain truth, darling,
You can’t stand to swallow those bitter pills;
You’ll love my story
Oh yeah you’ll have a ball
And then maybe you will find
As you turn it over in your mind
That my story was the plain old truth after all!

Zanda Myrande Westbury, UK

Zanda Myrande is still recovering from the trauma of being Zander Nyrond for several decades. She has only come out online at this point, for reasons which may be apparent from the picture above, but she proudly embraces her trans identity while still giving house room to Zander and the rest of the deadbeats who populate her head.

Lives in Wiltshire and has better friends than she deserves. ... more
