Projection

(album: The Adventures Of Ben Blank - 2023)

I ain't feeling no pain
I ain't feeling much at all
Baby, all I can say is that the writing's on the wall
Yeah the writing's on the wall

Like a dog unchained
I gotta run before they call me back, it's a trap
Just a projection on the wall
Yeah a projection on the wall

Sometimes it seems that we're all gonna break and we're falling apart, but we make it through

Can you tell me what I'm feeling
Can you show me something real
I need something to believe in
I need someone who dreams like me
I just play by feel, can't see at all
A projection on the wall

Baby, I ain't ashamed, I always said that love is war
You thought the lion was tamed, I left the shackles on the floor
I left the shackles on the floor
And the pain is so pure when I'm under your spell
Baby, one thing's for sure, is that tomorrow's gonna hurt like hell
Oh well, just a projection on the wall

Sometimes it seems that we're all gonna break and we're falling apart, but we make it through

Can you tell me what I'm feeling
Can you show me something real
I need something to believe in
I need someone who dreams like me
I just play by feel, can't see at all
A projection on the wall

We take one step forward, three steps back
We've come a long way down the railroad track
And when the lights go down and sky turns black
Keep your hand in mine and don't look back

It's all smoke and mirrors
Nothing to hang your hat on
This world gives me shivers
And how can we carry on and on and on
When the mirror shatters
It's the heart that matters

Can you tell me what I'm feeling
Can you show me something real
I need something to believe in
I need someone who dreams like me
I just play by feel, can't see at all
A projection on the wall
