The Recalcitrant Protagonist

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
