Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Invisible kid

Never see what he did

Got stuck where he hid

Fallen through the grid

[Verse 2]

Invisible kid

Got a place of his own

Where he'll never be known

Inward he's grown

[Verse 3]

Invisible kid

Never see what he did

Got stuck where he hid

Fallen through the grid

[Verse 4]

Invisible kid

Got a place of his own

Where he'll never be known

Inward he's grown

[Verse 5]

Invisible kid

Locked away in his brain

From the shame and the pain

World down the drain

[Verse 6]

Invisible kid

Suspicious of your touch

Don't want no crutch

But it's all too much

[Verse 7]

Invisible kid

Locked away in his brain

From the shame and the pain

World down the drain

[Verse 8]

Invisible kid

Suspicious of your touch

Don't want no crutch

But it's all too much

[Verse 9]

I hide inside

I hurt inside

I hide inside, but I'll show you...

[Verse 10]

I'm OK, just go away

Into the distance let me fade

I'm OK, just go away

I'm OK, but please don't stray too far

[Verse 11]

Open up your heart

I'm beating right here

Open your mind

I'm being right here, right now

Open your heart

I'm beating right here

Open your mind

I'm being right here, right now

[Verse 12]

Invisible kid

Never see what he did

Got stuck where he hid

Fallen through the grid

[Verse 13]

Invisible kid

Got a place of his own

Where he'll never be known

Inward he's grown

[Verse 14]

Invisible kid

Never see what he did

Got stuck where he hid

Fallen through the grid

[Verse 15]

Invisible kid

Got a place of his own

Where he'll never be known

Inward he's grown

[Verse 16]

I hide inside

I hurt inside

I hide inside, but I'll show you...

[Verse 17]

I'm OK, just go away

Into the distance let me fade

I'm OK, just go away

I'm OK, but please don't stray too far

[Verse 18]

Open up your heart

I'm beating right here

Open your mind

I'm being right here, right now

Open your heart

I'm beating right here

Open your mind

I'm being right here, right now

[Verse 19]

Ooh, what a good boy you are

Out of the way and you're kept to yourself

Ooh, can't you see that he's not here

He doesn't want the attention you give

Ooh, unplugging from it all

Invisible kid floats alone in his room

Ooh, what a quiet boy you are

He looks so calm floating 'round and 'round in himself

[Verse 20]

Invisible kid

Locked away in his brain

From the shame and the pain

World down the drain

[Verse 21]

Invisible kid

Suspicious of your touch

Don't want no crutch

But it's all too much

[Verse 22]

Invisible kid

Locked away in his brain

From the shame and the pain

World down the drain

[Verse 23]

Invisible kid

Suspicious of your touch

Don't want no crutch

But it's all too much yeah

[Verse 24]

I hide inside

I hurt inside

I hide inside, but I'll show you...

[Verse 25]

I'm OK, just go away

Into the distance let me fade

I'm OK, just go away

I'm OK, but please don't stray too far

[Verse 26]

Open up your heart

I'm beating right here

Open your mind

I'm being right here, right now

Open your heart

I'm beating right here

Open your mind

I'm being right here, right now
