Invisible to The World

There's a dead end at the edge of the street 

Whatever happened to all the easy meat? 

I never was one to admit defeat 

I'm in the theater of life might as well take a seat

All you ever wanted to be

Spiraling downward into the sea

All the love you ever had to give 

Now finding it hard to forge ahead and live,

Like a wounded animal in a cave

Licking its wounds wanting to be saved

You're invisible to the world don't you know?

Makes no difference to anyone if you come or go,

The miracles you were told to expect 

Now only mistakes of the past for you to dissect

No one is impressed by your intellect

Only your money they can collect

Chivalry is now obsolete

I feel the sidewalk tugging at my feet

Like the truth they so often delete

The vail of deception is nearly complete,

The only thing that makes any difference now

Is getting at the truth somehow

How many today would take that solemn vow?

Living among lobotomized sacred cows,

I’ve made that magical transition

Between political lies and superstition

As though on this secret mission

When does good ever come to fruition?

That dead end at the end of the street

Feeling that tingle in my feet

Unmarked graves where spirits meet

Like archeological anomalies beneath the ice sheet.
