The words of a public figure A distraction giver Magician You smile in the face of cameras But behind the mask lies an actor Chained in cuffs of gold Gagged with pure silk folds The heavy weight of a thousand judges The haters, the lovers You run your hands over a porcelain face Throat raw from speaking crystal words they trace Every move is tracked So every thing you do’s an act You’re no longer human Each choice you make is not of your choosing They hate your being But here’s the thing So do you

A public figure
The words of a public figure A distraction giver Magician You smile in the face of cameras But behind the mask lies an actor Chained in cuffs of gold Gagged with pure silk folds The heavy weight of a thousand judges The haters, the lovers You run your hands over a porcelain face Throat raw from speaking crystal words they trace Every move is tracked So every thing you do’s an act You’re no longer human Each choice you make is not of your choosing They hate your being But here’s the thing So do you
