I'm Invisible

Written and performed by Mark Urso

This is a properly bitter rock song written many years ago. It's great to finally record some of these older tunes; I will be first to admit sometimes it's challenging to get what I have in my head out there.

Three vocal lines, Rickenbacker 360 through a Kemper EVH emulation, Beat Buddy does drums, UAD PolyMAX pad

I didn’t mean to misunderstand you my dear
I thought the best thing for me to do would be to disappear
Hold my breath and close my eyes and vanish in the air
So I closed my door and locked it just to make things clear

Mentally I’m just a little curious of you
Physically, I would – not know what to do
Probably I’d get in trouble and maybe you would too
But I learned from the cat – how to split in a flash!

It’s not a question of who!
I’m a nobody who don’t know what to do!
I’m not exactly sure and I don’t wanna be a fool
But I think I can be invisible when I’m looking right at you!

You’ll never know me! You’ll never know me!
Just another thing that isn’t in your view
There isn’t anything, that you can say or do
You’ll never know me and I’m gonna fly away!

You’ll never know me! You’ll never know me!
You’ll never know me! Look at me, show me! 
You’ll never know me ‘cause I’m invisible! 
You’ll never know me and I’m gonna fly away!

(Bridge:)

It’s a blast knowing all the things I know!
You wanna get to know my head, babe!
It’s a blast watchin’ you puttin’ on a show!
You wanna get to know my head! Oh!

I didn’t mean to mis-understand you my dear
But I often feel like I’m invisible
I didn’t mean to completely disappear
A disappearing popsicle would even make me quizzical

You’ll never know me! You’ll never know me!
You’ll never know me! Look at me, show me!
You’ll never know me ‘cause I’m invisible!
You’ll never know me and I’m gonna fly away!

You’re gonna lose me; gonna gonna lose me!
Poker face and all I think I’m already half gone!
It’s been a pleasure but my years on earth are limited
I’ll share my heartbeat but it might be in a song!

You’ll never know me! You’ll never know me!
You’ll never know me! You think you’re gonna snow me!
You’ll never know when I come creepin’ up on you!
You’ll never know, ‘cause I’m invisible!

		– instrumental –

It’s not a question of who!
You’ll never know me! Look at me, show me!
You’ll never know when I come creepin’ up on you!
You’ll never know, ‘cause I’m invisible!

You’ll never know me; you’ll never show me
You’ve got an owl in your bedroom window now
… when … I come cree-pin’ up on you!
You’ll never know me and I’m gonna fly away!

You’ll never know me and I’m gonna fly away!
You’ll never know me and I’m gonna fly away!

Bottles In The Air

Bottles floatin’ in the air
Somehow I really just don’t care
I can’t change the world I’m in
Gotta have a thicker skin   ....

Thanks everybody for your concern
But maybe it’s you who’s got to learn
Never said I was afraid
I already danced and I already paid

I didn’t make no formal deal
But the monster pushed me it was real 
And I pushed back ‘till I almost died
A fight I knew I wouldn’t survive  ....

Bottles floatin’ in the air
Somehow I really just don’t care
I paid the doorman for my last stout
While I was on my way out ....

I understand you loud and clear
The world is full of bottles dear
Every day they stay on-the-shelf
You should be very proud of yourself!

But look at me with attitude		
Point your little stick 	
And maybe you can’t see yourself 	
And it’s you who ends up licked!	

I’m not here to give advice			
I don’t want to know				
The world is full of heartfelt concern		
But don’t start a fire if you don’t wanna burn   ....

Bottles floatin’ in the air
They’re literally everywhere
Twenty years later and I don’t care
They might as well have disappeared!
