The Invisible Boy
I was the boy unwanted, a prisoner I'm born to them
My brother was the one, that couldn't do no wrong
And I was there dying in the shadow of him
Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy?
Feel the strap, cross my back
Yeah, I'm the new whipping boy
(Who am I?) The orphan son you would never need?
(Who am I?) 'Cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees
(Who am I?) The slave you gave just the air I breathe?
(Who am I?) 'Cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees
Oh, I got the same old reruns, horror movies in my head
And I can't rest, they scare me to death
But if I'm not alive, how can I be dead?
Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy?
Feel the strap, cross my back
Yeah, I'm the new whipping boy
(Who am I?) The orphan son you would never need?
(Who am I?) 'Cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees
(Who am I?) The slave you gave just the air I breathe?
(Who am I?) 'Cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees
Oh, why me?
Why him
Can you tell me?
It's confession again?
Come talk to me, I see in your eyes
Titanic misery, ashamed that you're alive
I'm the face that you see
When the face isn't yours
I'm the mirror, my boy
(Who am I?) The orphan son you would never need?
(Who am I?) 'Cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees
(Who am I?) The slave you gave just the air I breathe?
(Who am I?) 'Cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees
Some people never go crazy
What truly boring lives they must lead
Is there no love to shelter me?
Only love, love sets me free
Is there no love to shelter me?
Only love, love sets me free
My brother was the one, that couldn't do no wrong
And I was there dying in the shadow of him
Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy?
Feel the strap, cross my back
Yeah, I'm the new whipping boy
(Who am I?) The orphan son you would never need?
(Who am I?) 'Cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees
(Who am I?) The slave you gave just the air I breathe?
(Who am I?) 'Cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees
Oh, I got the same old reruns, horror movies in my head
And I can't rest, they scare me to death
But if I'm not alive, how can I be dead?
Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy?
Feel the strap, cross my back
Yeah, I'm the new whipping boy
(Who am I?) The orphan son you would never need?
(Who am I?) 'Cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees
(Who am I?) The slave you gave just the air I breathe?
(Who am I?) 'Cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees
Oh, why me?
Why him
Can you tell me?
It's confession again?
Come talk to me, I see in your eyes
Titanic misery, ashamed that you're alive
I'm the face that you see
When the face isn't yours
I'm the mirror, my boy
(Who am I?) The orphan son you would never need?
(Who am I?) 'Cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees
(Who am I?) The slave you gave just the air I breathe?
(Who am I?) 'Cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees
Some people never go crazy
What truly boring lives they must lead
Is there no love to shelter me?
Only love, love sets me free
Is there no love to shelter me?
Only love, love sets me free
