Invisible

Scroll down on the player to hear my latest tune, Invisible.  It's just a scratch demo, but I think that even when I do get into the studio to record it, I would like to keep it very spartan.  I like the vibe.  Honest.  Bold. But with vulnerable undertones.  I wouldn't want the intimacy to get lost and bogged down in the production.




Invisible

Shakin off the cobwebs from your head, just rollin out of bed
The coffee’s waitin, got a big day ahead
But do you think of me?
Well, no….I am invisible….

Out of sight, out of mind, small talk’s just a waste of time
Going dark would seem to suit you just fine
But do you think of me?
….Or am I invisible?

          Push me away, try to keep me at bay
          Make me invisible

Don’t know why.  Don’t know how you keep up this monastic vow
You distance yourself.   Man, you just don’t allow yourself to
Think of me…
I am invisible.

But baby it don’t work that way for me, I’m not ashamed to say
I think of you each and every day
Oh yeah I think of you, even though
I am invisible

          Push me away, I guess forever I’ll stay
          Invisible

          Feelin’ like a stick of gum chewed up till my flavor’s gone
          Tossed out on some random lawn to disintegrate till I am gone
          And I am invisible

A perfect match in a perfect world, I fit your rubric of the girl
Who’ll blow your mind wearing leather or pearls
You think you’d think of me, yet
I am invisible

You think it’s smart.  You think your wise, but baby I know otherwise
You’re wasting your time with all these dead end tries
Why don’t you think of me instead of relegating me to
Invisible
Invisible
Invisible

  1. Heading over to the Gaslight to see Paxton when I get done at NYU. Some folkie called Girl Friday is going on first. Heard her last night, has a killer song, Invisible or something...nails the concept to the wall. I like that in a writer.
