"The Projectionist", from ThouShaltNot's album "Land Dispute"

Lyrics:

Sing me like a lullaby

And read me like a book

You can steal me in an art fraud heist

Just tuck me underneath your coat

And if you want to load me on the reel

And blare a blinding light through me

I'll be a silent film and you'll play the organ

To go with the pictures I show

But when can I feel my skin again

As more than between blood and air?

I am what you tell me I am

You make me an endless text

And you are my projectionist

Give me like a wartime speech

And fight me like a war

Invade me like the Middle East

Just bounce me off the satellites

But the picture's out of focus now

The blackout's all over town

So make me now a candle bright

And push me through the power lines

But when can I feel my skin again

As more than between blood and air?

I am what you tell me I am

You make me an endless text

And I am what you think of next

And you are my projectionist

Shine a light through me so you can see

Sing me in a different key

I'm your diary

Who's reading who now?

And who's in whose skin?

Turn on your TV

Broadcast me everywhere I want to be

Lift up a rock and find me there

But when can I feel my skin again

As more than between blood and air?

I am what you tell me I am

And you make me an endless text

And I am what you think of next

In the burning theatre I am blessed

For you are my projectionist
