Masked Projection

[Verse] In this quiet, sleepy town where the roads are made of dust, Folks know what's yours, mine, and who to trust. Hidden deep inside, behind every smile and glance, Lies a story never told, a secret they never had the chance. [Verse 2] The preacher's daughter, she wears that Sunday grin, Though her heart's been breaking ever since she let him in. Behind that facade, there's a world she'll never show, A masked projection of a life she'll never know. [Chorus] Masked projection, shadows on the wall, In the echo of a whisper, you can hear it call. Behind every window, behind every stare, There's a hidden truth waiting, if you dare. [Verse 3] Old man Jasper sits alone at the bar, With a wallet full of dreams and a heart full of scars. Smiling through his stories of the good ol' days, Hiding pain and regrets in a whiskey haze. [Verse 4] Young couple down the road, on their porch at night, Holding hands in silence beneath the moonlight. To the world they show perfect love carved in stone, But behind closed doors, they bleed alone. [Chorus] Masked projection, shadows on the wall, In the echo of a whisper, you can hear it call. Behind every window, behind every stare, There's a hidden truth waiting, if you dare.
