It’s sort of like a déjà vu feeling: you awake from the treadmill of worries, concerns, plans, desires, and goals to a feeling that you didn’t sign on for or choose all this. How is it that your life is happening, who is calling the shots? If you do have that momentary feeling, take the opportunity to get off-script! It’s not really you.

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
(I’m) Hearing it all the time, a story that isn’t mine
(I’m) 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
(I’m) Hearing it all the time, a story that isn’t mine
(I’m) 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….
