Invisible

I’ve got a problem with the way you see

Your eyes are always trying to take something from me

I’ve got a problem with the way you hear

Only listening to the bankers and the bombardiers

But for now I’m not invisible

Sometimes I wish I was

Your stare, the weight of your glare

Pinned and mounted, but you best beware

I’ve got a problem with the way you think

Respect could keep us afloat, but you would rather sink

I’ve got a problem with the way you act

Run your mouth, confuse opinion with fact

And if I don’t make any sense to you

Well, I never really wanted to

Through fictions fed and feelings misconstrued

At least I know my aim is true

I learned to crawl, to stand, to fall

I even learned to scale those fucking walls

I learned to scream, to swim upstream

And to subsist on optimism and caffeine

Ice will melt

Seas will rise

Iron will rust

Fire will fall from the skies

Hearts will break, but ours will mend

Once we’ve spent all that we can spend

We will turn against ourselves, we will feel fear

We are a moment, and we will disappear
