The stories people tell you about themselves seem to retain the possibility of being false. But what you discover about them by yourself seems to be the truth.

All Stories are True.

Never go down to the darkest room. Stay far away from the rotting coffin. If you want to live through the night, let the devil sleep.

You don't want to loose your old friend - the misery - You have invested too much into false - Hence the fear to be exposed -to be true - to be naked as you are

And now you'll be telling stories
of my coming back
and they won't be false, and they won't be true
but they'll be real

Just because you do not understand the fact, or hate it, or have chosen to willfully ignore it. Does not mean the fact is not there.
