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

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