Lyrics for The Invisible Boy

Jonathon I was the boy unwanted, a prisoner I'm born to them My brother was the one, that couldn't do no wrong And I was there dying in the shadow of him Jonathon to his father Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy? Feel the strap, cross my back Yeah I'm the new whipping boy Who am I - the orphan son you would never need? Who am I - cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees Who am I - the slave you gave just the air I breathe? Who am I - cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees Jonathon Oh I got the same old reruns, horror movies in my head And I can't rest, the scare me to death But if I'm not alive, how can I be dead? Jonathon to his father Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy? Feel the strap, cross my back Yeah I'm the new whipping boy Jonathon to the mirror Oh, why me? The mirror Why him Jonathon Can you tell me? The mirror It's confession again? Come talk to me, I see in your eyes Titantic misery, ashamed that you're alive I'm the face that you see When the face isn't yours I'm the mirror my boy Some people never go crazy What truly boring lives they must lead Is there no love to shelter me? Only love, love sets me free
