Maybe everything looked perfect from the outside
But behind it I was sitting in the dark
Trying to play my role, to keep the story shining
While my heart was breaking scene by scene apart

When I stepped outside the frame
And saw my life as just a play
Every shadow on the screen
Was only light that lost its way

Now I see I’m the projector
Not the movie I believed
All the dark became the soil
Where the seeds were underneath
Now the flowers start to open
Roots grew stronger in the night
Every shadow was a teacher
Every seed was reaching light

I thought perfection was the ticket to belonging
Afraid the world would be disgusted by my scars
But when I faced the darker scenes I’d been avoiding
I found the beauty hidden deep inside my heart

When I stepped outside the frame
And saw my life as just a play
Every shadow on the screen
Was only light that lost its way

Now I see I’m the projector
Not the movie I believed
All the dark became the soil
Where the seeds were underneath
Now the flowers start to open
Roots grew stronger in the night
Every shadow was a teacher
Every seed was reaching light

Now I see I’m the projector
Not the movie I believed
All the dark became the soil
Where the seeds were underneath
Now the flowers start to open
Roots grew stronger in the night
Every shadow was a teacher
Every seed was reaching light
