The Invisible Boy
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
