The Invisible Boy

Lyrics

[Jonathan] 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 [Jonathan 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 [Jonathan] 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? [Jonathan 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 [Jonathan to the mirror] Oh, why me? [The mirror] Why him [Jonathan to the mirror] Can you tell me? [The mirror] 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 [Guitar solo] 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 [Spoken] Some people never go crazy What truly boring lives they must lead Is there a love to shelter me? Only love, love set me free Is there a love to shelter me? Only love, love set me free
