Invisible Ink

I learned to read the silence hanging heavy in the air
Every empty word, every blank-eyed stare
You walk right through me, you don’t even look
The outline of someone you swore you never forsook.
I’m written in invisible ink, You look right through
you never blink. Vanishing quick, shrinking fast
A forgotten vow buried in the past.

You laugh with strangers, your eyes gone flat
I watch our story slip
and that’s that. Every question dies between our sheets
Your answers lost in midnight’s dark retreats.
I’m written in invisible ink, You look right through
you never blink. Vanishing quick, shrinking fast
A forgotten vow buried in the past.

I stand in front of you, a technicolor scream
But you only see silence, forget what we mean
I reach for you in the dark, Just to find my own hand
missing the mark.
I’m written in invisible ink, You look right through
you never blink. Vanishing quick, shrinking fast
A forgotten vow buried in the past.
