The Invisible Boy Lyrics

The Invisible Boy Lyrics

Jonathon

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


Jonathon to his father

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


Jonathon

Oh I got the same old reruns, horror movies in my head

And I can't rest, the scare me to death

But if I'm not alive, how can I be dead?


Jonathon to his father

Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy?

Feel the strap, cross my back

Yeah I'm the new whipping boy


Jonathon to the mirror

Oh, why me?


The mirror

Why him


Jonathon

Can you tell me?


The mirror

It's confession again?

Come talk to me, I see in your eyes

Titantic 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


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
