Lyrics
Verse 1:
Over here, can't you see that I need help?
Over here, I can't make it by myself
Lift your head up, look around with open eyes
Stop your talking long enough to hear my cries
Chorus:
Time is racing through the glass
Running out and I can't last
Am I invisible?
Verse 2:
Over here, ev'ry breath is coming hard
Over here, veins are full of icy shards
Ev'ry second finds me sinking farther down
Someone help me get my feet back on the ground
Outro:
Am I invisible?
Invisible
