Invisible Man

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Help me please, I'm lost in myself

I don't know who I am, I don't know anybody else

Are these my companions, is this my place

Can you still see my eyes, do I still have my face

The thoughts I had, they don't stick with me

I can't operate this confounded machine

I can't move forward, I can't look back

The past and the future all fade to black

I feel like a ship that's sinking down

Till I put on my headphones and I remember the sound

Mining memories of who I used to be

Pieces of the puzzle that look like me

How can anybody understand

I'm fading away, I'm the invisible man

Is there anybody who can give me a voice

I hate to repeat it, but it's not my choice

Oh my god I'm lost in time

Mother's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, 4th of July

I can't decide if I wanna laugh or cry

Cause everything's confusing and I don't know why

Wait, I do know why, I figured it out

But it's gone again before I can open my mouth

But when I open my mouth and I've got something to say

It's the same conversation I had yesterday

Yesterday and the day before

Maybe tomorrow, I don't know anymore

Help me please, I'm lost in myself

I don't know who I am, I don't know anybody else

Are these my companions, is this my place

Can you still see my eyes, do I still have my face

The thoughts I had, they don't stick with me

I can't operate this confounded machine

I can't move forward, I can't look back

The past and the future just fade to black

I feel like a ship that's sinking down

I put on my headphones and remember the sound

Is there anybody out there who can give me a voice

I hate to repeat it, but it's not my choice

It's not my choice, it's not my choice

I hate to repeat it, but it's not my choice

It's not my choice, it's not my choice

I hate to repeat it, but it's not my choice

It's not my choice, it's not my choice

I hate to repeat it, but it's not my choice
