lyrics

Evening after evening stoking embers of preservation, threading celluloid to feed illusion. Looking backwards, you could see his silhouette in the outline just behind what he’d project. The douser kept the union of sound and image unobstructed, but it was the flicker of the shutter at which they marvelled. He held the audience in laughter and suspense, even as technology and trends became a threat. One day the office door swung wide and a superior beckoned. A sinking feeling grew more frenzied with each supine second. A decision was made after lengthy consultations on the relevance of skill sets in their future operations. They said “you'll stay here for the time being in in a limited capacity for periodic screenings of repertory content”, that “you'll always be valued as a key part of our history, and remain an elder statesman”, though their first priority was rent. He often wondered if the change of reels he’d mastered they would recollect, or missed the rusting skeletons that lay beneath the sheets. But once or twice a month he took the accolades that he could get, and struggled not to sob as he convinced himself to sleep.
