I’ve always been
A shadowplay of me
Projecting the best parts
Or the ones I thought they thought were

But if they’d been
Inside my dreams
Underneath my canvas
There were wounds left to get septic

I’ve always been
Talking bullshit
About me playing the main part
I’m not the protagonist of my film

The bit parts turn lead
And break my fragile peace
Flattening my base camp
And leaving wounds that will get septic
