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:

Can you tell me?

The mirror:

It's confession again?

Come talk to me, I see in your eyes

Titanic misery, ashamed you're alive

I'm the face that you see

When the face isn't yours

I'm the mirror my boy

Jonathan to his father:

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
