Inverse
There's a lyric on your lips
and you're dying to sing
But you're sewn like a puppet
bound by a dream
Walking on a high wire
on the edge of insane
So high above the world
so buried by their pain
You're the bullet and the trigger
a product of how you're sold
Invention-less and plain
made up in gold
The inverse of the operation
for photographic beauty
Cracked beneath the skin
where no one else can see
