Prequel Lyrics by San Iris

INVASION EP San Iris

2020

My life is cinematic
Put me on the stage
It'll be good
I will entertain people
Keep it fresh with drama, attitude
But to me the story's pretty boring
Nothing around me has reached maturity
There's no through line, no thesis
I'd like to know something means me
It feels like the writers of my indie flick had an idea to win the Oscar
But they didn't know how to speed me to that stage
Now these years of my life must incur

I hope right now is just a prequel
Better be a better story in the end
Cause that's the only way that I'm living now
Telling myself to just wait 'til 'round the bend
I pray to quell these feelings
Inadequacy is in my heart
Got to hope the real story is coming soon
My portrait's grim and pale and so's the art

I might be Anakin now but I'll be Vader later
Let's hope George wrote this story backwards
I'm stretched, split in three like The Hobbit, please stop it
Hope the real story's filmed first
Maybe the magic was lost when the focus moved backwards back to my present now
I pray for a savior but the only god that hears me is Prometheus, I'm filled with doubt
Pre pre pre it means before
I wish I could fly to a now that's good
But for now, I'm in a now that is hell for me
Hope the torture won't endure

I hope right now is just a prequel
Better be a better story in the end
Cause that's the only way that I'm living now
Telling myself to just wait 'til 'round the bend
I pray to quell these feelings
Inadequacy is in my heart
Got to hope the real story is coming soon
My portrait's grim and pale and so's the art

Don't get comfortable in the cage you built
The key to the door lies within
Don't wait; be the inciting incident
You know excuses and words are running thin

I hope right now is just a prequel
Better be a better story in the end
Cause that's the only way that I'm living now
Telling myself to just wait 'til 'round the bend
I pray to quell these feelings
Inadequacy is in my heart
Got to hope the real story is coming soon
My portrait's grim and pale and so's the art
