[Verse 1] [Intimate low dark register] Every room that I walk in, it always feels the same I’m just standing in the corner with a forgotten name So I try to push harder, try to displace the air But they look right through my body like I was never there Yeah I put on flamboyant colors just to catch their eye But I'm still a quiet shadow under their shiny sky [Pre-Chorus] [Claps join, rhythmic buildup] And it takes weeks and weeks for anyone to see It takes weeks and weeks to find a piece of me Can you feel me now? Can you see me now? [Chorus] [Powerful full-voice belt, bright soaring harmonies] Oh, it’s so invisible, this heavy daily strain! Carrying the unbearable, like standing in the rain! It's a wound of rejection that I hide behind my smile Yeah, I look so indifferent but it cuts me all the while You look right through my face, you leave me far behind To the person right in front of you, you are completely blind! [Verse 2] [Music drops back to soft piano and acoustic guitar] [Low dark register] And I ask myself a question when the night gets cold Looking at the fake stories that are always told If I packed up my bags and I went away tonight Left for a distant place and vanished from their sight How long would it take them to notice I am gone? How long till they see that I slipped into the dawn? [Pre-Chorus] [Claps join, rhythmic buildup] And it takes weeks and weeks for anyone to see It takes weeks and weeks to find a piece of me Can you feel me now? Can you see me now? [Chorus] [Powerful full-voice belt, full joyful crescendo] Oh, it’s so invisible, this heavy daily strain! Carrying the unbearable, like standing in the rain! It's a wound of rejection that I hide behind my smile Yeah, I look so indifferent but it cuts me all the while You look right through my face, you leave me far behind To the person right in front of you, you are completely blind! [Bridge] [Electronic synth hook takes the lead] [Claps and snaps together] We shouldn't need a giant shout or a massive display Just to be treated like a human at the end of the day No flamboyant colors, no pushing through the crowd To have a little respect without screaming out loud [Chorus] [Maximum power, full-voice belt, soaring harmonies] Oh, it’s so invisible, this heavy daily strain! Carrying the unbearable, like standing in the rain! It's a wound of rejection that I hide behind my smile Yeah, I look so indifferent but it cuts me all the while You look right through my face, you leave me far behind To the person right in front of you, you are completely blind! [Outro] [Music begins to soften, gentle fade out] Without the neon lights... How long until you notice?... [whisper] Invisible. [Soft piano chord trailing off]
