lyrics

When was the last time you lied?

And, were you smiling while you did it.

Perhaps it was something small.

“Oh sorry, my bus was late!”

You know, everyone makes excuses.

“Oh yeah, that movie was awesome”

Sometimes we make room to be accommodating, or inflate things.

Did you look them in the eye? Because you definitely should.

Or maybe you were sitting. Crossed legs? Crossed arms?

How long was your story? Was it a sentence, or even just a clause. Sometimes that happens.

A paragraph? Maybe it’s a story.

How many events happened in it? It’s easy enough to find a beginning, middle and end.

Or you could get ambitious, go for the eight-point plot arc.
First, stasis.
A trigger.
The quest.
A surprise.
Then, your critical choice.

These are just five, the others come after you get caught.

Could you tell the story backwards? I hear that's hard to do.
