The Recalcitrant Protagonist - In The Woods...

All the archetypes surround me

Different faces, different names

They are the projections of beyond

Ancient cast of the eternal play

There are only so many stories

Which we may find ourselves within

To repeat over and over

Until you learn the lesson therein

All the archetypes surround me

Different faces, different names

They are the projections of beyond

I found I had only a minor role

In the play of my own destiny

I had to improvise my role off-stage

Beg the audience for clemency

I’m the only one who hasn’t seen the script

And every day’s like a well-rehearsed lie

And though it seems they’re selling tickets to my dreams

I’d like to kiss the theatre goodbye
