Lyrics

I see my reflection in the window It looks different, so different than what you see Projecting judgment on the world This house is clean baby This house is clean Am I who I think I am? Am I who I think I am? Am I who I think I am? Look out my window and see it’s gone wrong Court is in session and I slam my gavel down I’m judge and I’m jury and I’m executioner, too Projector Protector Rejector Infector Projector Rejector Infector Injector Defector Rejector I see my reflection in the window This window clean inside, dirty on the out I’m looking different than me This house is clean baby This house is clean Am I who I think I am? Am I who I think I am? Am I who I think I am? I look out my window and see it’s gone wrong My court is in session and now I slam my gavel down I’m judge and I’m jury and I’m executioner, too Projector Protector Rejector Infector Projector Rejector Infector Injector Defector Rejector Detector I drink from the cup of denial I’m judging the world from my throne I drink from the cup of denial I’m judging the world from my throne
