[Refrain]
Ideas you've projected on me
Images you used to cover me
The bright light that obscures my being
Ideas you've projected on me
Images you used to cover me
The bright light that obscures my being

[Chorus]
I would tear myself in half
To destroy the screen that's got you rapt
Wrapped up in these ideas of me
You've projected on me, imposed upon me
Wrapped up in these images you see
They're not part of me, not part of me

[Refrain]
Ideas you've projected on me
Images you used to cover me
The bright light that obscures my being
Ideas you've projected on me
Images you used to cover me
The bright light that obscures my being

[Chorus]
I would tear myself in half
To destroy the screen that's got you rapt
Wrapped up in these ideas of me
You've projected on me, imposed upon me
Wrapped up in these images you see
They're not part of me, not part of me

[Bridge]
It's your movie, you wrote, starred, and directed it
I may only be your muse, but I'm necessary
It's your movie, you wrote, starred, and directed it
I may only be your muse, but I'm necessary

[Refrain]
Ideas you've projected on me
Images you used to cover me
The bright light that obscures my being (The bright light)
Ideas you've projected on me
Images you used to cover me
The bright light that obscures my being (The bright light)
