The Projectionist

[Verse 1]

When I was young, I fell in love with story

With the eleventh hour, with the blaze of glory

The theater lights dim and all goes quiet

In the darkest of rooms, light shines the brightest

[Verse 2]

When hands are tied and clocks are ticking

An audience convinced: we're leaning in

Holding our breath again

Just when we thought the game was over

The music lifts and our dying soldier lives!

And we breathe a sigh of relief

[Chorus]

We're leaving

We're leaving our shadows behind us now

Yeah, we're leaving

Yeah, we're leaving it all behind for now

[Verse 2]

But even dust was made to settle

And if we're made of dust, then what makes us

Any different?

I guess we give what we've been given

A family tree so very good at giving up

When we've had enough

[Bridge]

Though truth is heavier than fiction

Gravity lifts as the projectionist rolls tape

And it makes us brave again

And it makes us brave again

And it makes us brave

[Chorus]

So we're leaving

We're leaving our shadows behind us now

Yeah, we're leaving

Yeah, we're leaving it all behind for now

And it makes us brave again

And it makes us brave

Yeah, we're leaving

(And it makes us brave again)

We're leaving 'em all behind for now
