Invisible

We are waking up slowly with the stink of merlot
still sweet in the corners of our mouths,
and we know we'll walk out into the day,
out into the world at large.

Where you are tiny at most
and you are something at least
and you get lost staring at the spaces in between
between the trees.

And you are lucky to find someone,
you're lucky to find some shade
on the sidewalk.
We've all got something to hide
and thing we're hiding it well
we're not hiding it well
we're not hiding it well

You close your eyes
you think you are invisible
you close your eyes
and think you are invisible you are invisible
you are invisible, you close your eyes
and you've left a blank spot where you used to stand
you know you've left a black hole
in space and time and sound.

We are waking up slowly and it feels like the first
and it feels like the only time you really woke up,
and you will do it again,
and it will feel like the only time.

We are turning down corners
in the pages of books
we are marking down moments in our reading nooks
for possible return.

You close your eyes
you think you are invisible
you close your eyes
and think you are invisible you are invisible
you close your eyes
and you've left a blank spot where you used to stand
you know you've left a black hole
in space and time and sound.

We've all got something to hide
and think we're hiding it well
we're not hiding it well
we're not hiding it well
we're not hiding it well
we're not hiding it well
we're not hiding it well
but if you close....

Your eyes,
you are invisible you are invisible
you are invisible you are invisible
you close your eyes
and you've left a bright spot where you used to stand
you know you've left a bright place
in space and time and sound.
