There is no reflection
Like that which comes from rejection
First you use projection
To push out and blame
Then you try to stake out a claim
With statements like I don't care
I was about to walk anyway

But that night or a few days later
As you lay there waiting for sleep
That's when your mind begins to stray
Try to pull it back and away
Or drag your mind around the corner
Then an hour later you realize
For some time you've been wandering
Down the path of truth
So you try try and try to get back to the LIE
You know what I'm reminded of ?
Those times when you're watching the TV
You realize the windows reflected light is center screen
Obtrusive in it ability to be right where you want to see
Try as you might you can't ignore it
And then suddenly it's back....
..IT'S BACK!
So you did manage to find rejection
Of that intrusive projection
Somehow  ignoring that annoying reflection
As long as you didn't know you knew
Then that problem was something you could look right through
For as long as you didn't let yourself know you own it.
