lyrics

Am I invisible?
You can't see me
I'm a window of transparency
No way of knowing
And if you could what would you do?
Everything you've done you were meant to

I can't keep acting
Like everything is fine
If you've got yours

I'm missing mine
To vacantly occupy my mind
I was forced to find
What's hiding behind it

Am I inaudible?
You can't hear me
I can feel vibrations frequently

Well nobody died
But you danced with suicide
Oh not tonight; you are alive

I'm missing mine
To vacantly occupy my mind
I was forced to find
What's hiding behind it

Lights are on inside
Where no-one can reside
I was forced to find
What's hiding behind it
