The Protagonist

Everyone is a protagonist Everyone had a beginning Everyone will have their end in time Everyone is an individual Everyone has their free will Everyone has rehearsed all their lines And if I was an soap opera protagonist I'd have already won my love interest years ago And we'd be living happily ever after But the drama's too popular to cancel, so they just keep writing more Everyone's controlled by their culture Everyone's controlled by desire Everyone's controlled by comfort Everyone is a side character Trying to catch the eye of the director So they're still here next year And as long as they're paying, we keep on working And if they love us, it gives life meaning We keep on working for dubious reasons Through our elation and depression seasons We always move on to our next season Trying to brush aside or forget our demons We seek attachment without reason Between abandonment and cuffing seasons And if I was an anime protagonist I'd have already won my love interest years ago And we'd be living happily ever after But the drama's too popular to cancel, so they just keep writing more We seek attachment without reason Between abandonment and cuffing season Summer's coming fast
