The Projector

Behold the projector
Replaying wretched scenes within your mind
Resentment is rehearsed to unfortunate perfection
Yearning for script correction, rapture is lost in time

Behold the projector
Spin those rusty reels until you find
Your favorite lines of misery, edit for continuity
This is the pain of your design

Project the past unto me
Descend to bitter familiarity
Gratitude can be so challenging
When despair of the past becomes comforting

No longer the man you once knew
Type casted into the role that you're used to
Act your way out of responsibility
Project your pain unto me

Violent Outbursts you forgot, I have not
Carved in my memories your insecurities forced upon me
Let your petulance flow from my temples
Wring my neck with abusive indulgence

As I behold the projector, films of wrath and anger fill my mind
But I direct which part I play and I will learn from your mistakes

Lying to family and friends, this cycle ends
Refusing to make amends, this cycle ends
Coping within delusion, this cycle ends
The stage is your only redemption, this cycle ends

Monologues prepared with resentment
False apologies meant for excellence
Take a bow it must be quite the challenge
Playing both the victim and the villain

Whatever it takes to save face
As if you weren't full of hate in the first place
Act your way out of responsibility
Project your pain unto me

Violent Outbursts you forgot, I have not
Carved in my memories your insecurities

Project your weakness with vengeance and regret protecting the depths of your scars
Protect the coarseness while building your fortress to hide from the coward you are

To Vain to see the cruelty that you boast
It twists and contorts you into the monster you hate the most

Project, abuse, deny, doomed to deceit
Reject, accuse, lie, choose to repeat

Project, abuse, deny, doomed to deceit
Reject, accuse, lie, choose to repeat

Project, abuse, deny, doomed to deceit
Reject, accuse, lie, choose to repeat

Project, abuse, deny, doomed to deceit
Reject, accuse, lie, choose to repeat

Project, abuse, deny, doomed to deceit
Reject, accuse, lie

Choosing to project
Abuse
Deny
Choosing to repeat
Reject
Accuse
Choose

The films of your history
Are not doomed to be your destiny
But you must choose

Behold the Projector
Behold the Projector
Behold the Projector
Behold the Projector
