Solarize

I pushed it past the point of grey
I let the shutter stay too long
The face I wore burned clean away
And left a shape I'd gotten wrong

I kept on staring at the sun
Until the sun was all I knew
The picture burned and came undone
And something darker bled straight through

Push it further than it goes
Till the black turns into white
Burn the face that no one knows
Till the dark turns into light

Past the point where I could hide
Past the point where I could feel
The image flipped and turned inside
And what came out of it was real

Push it further than it goes
Till the black turns into white
Burn the face that no one knows
Till the dark turns into light

Let it burn the whole way through
Let it burn past every name
What survives it will be true
And I will not stay the same

Push it further than it goes
Till the black turns into white
Burn the face that no one knows
Till the dark turns into light

Till the dark turns into light
