/// Lyrics:

You came in like a roll of thunder, trying to change the shape of love
Looking for somebody to believe in you for once
How’d the world get so confusing, how’d the ache inside your chest
Go from something beautiful to something dangerous

But now I guess the rain is coming, and it’ll rain like hell
But nothing ever changes til you ring the bell

Lit up like a firecracker, you’ve been burning out for years
Nothing left but ruined plastic shells and helpless tears
But once you were a brilliant flash, a crash of silver light
Don’t forget the way you felt, all hungry and alive

But now I guess the rain is coming, and it’ll rain like hell
But nothing ever changes til you ring the bell

I know you’re a crazy dreamer, I know that you still believe
Something good is just beyond the darkness of this dream
And time will tell a softer story, how you climbed above the wire
Held that hammer high above and made the damn thing chime

But now I guess the rain is coming, and it’ll rain like hell
But nothing ever changes til you ring the bell

/// Lyrics:

Invisible man, you’re an asphalt dancer
Cinematic, backward talking fool
Don’t reach for my hand with your madman laughter
I am scared to become like you

I awoke, in the early morning, in my own apartment, up above
Where you stood, in a bed of flowers, telling no one real to shut up
Get out, get out, I don’t want you in my brain
A seed, of doubt, it gets planted anyway

Invisible man, you’re a radiator
Burning up the pavement in the dark
Don’t reach for my hand, I am not your neighbor
I am scared to be like you are

I got up, made a cup of coffee, got my shoes and car keys and I left
To my job, down the elevator, out the door where you were yelling
Get out, get out, you’re not welcome in my brain
A seed, of doubt, well it haunts me like a plague

Invisible man, you’re a tightrope walker
An obscene applauder in the street
Don’t reach for my hand, I am not your brother
You are not a thing like me

Invisible man, your electric laughter
Running addled circles on the loose
And the truth is that I’m just another madman
And I see myself in you

Invisible Man
