Who’s life is it? What’s calling the shots – is it the hidden-in-plain-sight script in your head?

lyrics

I didn't write the story I'm given
I didn't choose the cast or the scene
Why do I feel I gotta keep turning
Page after page as if this were me

I'm living a storyline, living a storyline
Whispering in my mind, somebody’s storyline

Perilous times, hero's in trouble.
Who wrote this trash, who can I blame
Why do I feel I’ve still got a burden
Living a part that's been pre-ordained

Living a storyline, living a storyline
Whispering in my mind, somebody’s storyline
Hearing it all the time, a story that isn’t mine
Living a storyline, storyline….

The ending's never what I pictured
Won’t be a puppet on a string
I guess I gotta stop believing
In fairy tales or magic rings

Living a storyline, living a storyline
Living inside my mind is somebody’s storyline
Hearing it all the time, a story that isn’t mine
Living a storyline, storyline….

Living a storyline, living a storyline
Living inside my mind, somebody’s storyline
Hearing it all the time, a story that isn’t mine
Living a storyline, storyline….
