I am an invisible man. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids - and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.

I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.

The Invisible Man

Everywhere he goes
Everything he does
Everything proves to him
That he dont exist for them
Cos they dont understand what
The invisible man understands
Everyday he tries
Every night he dies
Looking for someone like him
Someone who dont walk by him
Someone who knows what
The invisible man understands
He doesnt sell cars
He doesnt sell clothes
Never famous
And know one knows
Stick and stone aint hurt him
You can dance on his grave when hes gone
But the invisible man will still touch your hand
Until you understand what he wants
Do you think you know him
Do you think that you know him
The lies and deceit you give
The curses and cries you give
Do you understand what the invisible man understands
Invisible man do you understand
Maybe it is you?
Invisible man do you understand
Maybe it is you?
Maybe it is you?
Maybe it is you?
Maybe it is you?
Maybe it is you?
Do you think you understand
Do you think you understand

I Refuse

Everythings heaven sent
Thats what you said and went
Inside your fairy glass
Somethin you think will last
And when they crop you like a clown
You got your smile on upside down
B-baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
Uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
Find omebody else to use
(I do refuse)
cause I refuse to come along
And everythings on a whim
Thats what you said to him
Lyin in wunderlust
Are feelings you never trust
And when they pamper you with ice
I cant believe you dont think twice
Uh baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
Uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
Find somebody else to use
(I do refuse)
cause I refuse to come along
And everyone makes the play
With nothing left much to say
Theyre all in an endless line
Waiting for equal time
They keep screaming its the truth
And you keep kneelin in the booth
Oh baby I refuse
(I do refuse)
Uh, you can pick or choose
(I do refuse)
Find somebody else to use
(I do refuse)
cause I refuse to come along
Oh, I do refuse
(I do refuse)
Oh, you got nothin to lose
(I do refuse)
Find somebody else to use
(find somebody else to use)
(I do refuse)
cause I refuse to come along
I refuse
(I do refuse)
Ah, oo-oo
(I do refuse)
(find somebody else to use)
(I do refuse)
cause I refuse to come along
I refuse
(I do refuse)
Oo, oh got nothin to lose
(I do refuse)
(find somebody else to use)
(I do refuse)

Invisible Strings

(ian hunter)
One, two, three
Well I woke up this morning - theres a girl in my bed.
How did she get there? was it something I said?
I dont understand it but somehow it seems
She visits me in invisible dreams.
Over and over I try to explain
How did that girl get into my veins?
Did somebody send her - was it my velvet wings?
And how does she touch my invisible strings?
Invisible strings - invisible strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Now its all over when the fat lady sings
Ill still be playing my invisible strings
Well maybe she dont have a world of her own
Maybe shes using me just like a phone
And sometimes shes cool and sometimes she stings
And Im all tangled up in invisible strings
Invisible strings - invisible strings
These are a few of my favorite things
When youre wearing black and Im wearing wings,
Well still be playing those invisible strings
Well she never leaves - Im never alone
I aint in the book but shes still calling home
I tried to lose her - watch the tv
But that womans always picking on me
Well, theres strings round my body, strings round my heart
Id like to know where the string-pulling starts
Id give anything to meet the angel who sends
Invisible ink to my invisible pen
Invisible strings - invisible strings
These are a few of my favorite things
When youre wearing black and Im wearing wings,
Well still be playing our invisible strings
Invisible strings - invisible strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Now its all over when the fat lady sings
Well still be playing our invisible strings
Invisible strings - invisible strings
Oh yeah

The Invisible Man

Im the invisible man,
Im the invisible man,
Incredible how you can,
See right through me,
When you hear a sound,
That you just cant place
Feel somethin move
That you just cant trace,
When something sits
On the end of your bed
Dont turn around
When you hear me tread.
Im the invisible man,
Im the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
Im the invisible man
Im the invisible man
Its criminal how I can
See right through you.
Now Im in your room
And Im in your bed
And Im in your life
And Im in your head
Like the cia
Or the fbi
Youll never get close
Never take me alive
Im the invisible man
Im the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
Im the invisible man
Im the invisible man
Its criminal how I can
See right through you,
Hah, hah, hah, hello,
Hah, hah, hah, hello,
Hah, hah, hah, hello-hello-hello-hello,
Never had a real good friend - not a boy or a girl
No-one knows what Ive been through - let my flag unfurl
So make my mark from the edge of the world,
From the edge of the world,
From the edge of the world,
Now Im on your track
And Im in your mind,
And Im on your back
But dont look behind
Im your meanest thought
Im your darkest fear
Put Ill never get caught
You cant shake me, shake me dear,
Im the invisible man,
Im the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me
Im the invisible man
Im the invisible man
Its criminal how I can
See right through you
Look at me, look at me

Refuse!

i refuse
to accept the lie
anymore!

i know, beyond a doubt,
that all people are equal,
regardless of color, gender,

religion, financial status, or
political beliefs!
i refuse to believe

that i am all right,
when someone else
is hungry, homeless, or hurting.

i refuse to believe
that i am not responsible,
for i am most responsible

when i turn away!
i refuse to believe
that one person's success

can come at the expense of another!
i refuse to settle!
i choose life, and life means living...

involved!

People Are People

We're different colours
And we're different creeds
And different people
Have different needs
It's obvious you hate me
Though I've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you
What could I have done
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
People are people
So why should it be
You and I shouldnt get along
People are people
So why should it be
You should hate mePeople are people
So why should it be
You and I shouldnt get along
People are people
So why should it be
You should hate me
You're punching, kicking
And you're shouting at me
And I'm relying on your common decency
La, la. la, la. la
So far it hasn't surfaced
But I'm sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your head to your fist
Can't understand what makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people
So why should it be
You and I shouldnt get along
People are people
So why should it be
You should hate mePeople are people
So why should it be
You and I shouldnt get along

I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand

Fitting In...

inside the mosquito net
he reveals that he is having a hard time
fitting a part of him
to her

i am at a loss
wanting to imagine what could this be
something sexual
or metaphorical

he says i refuse to understand
perhaps i must be too innocent or i must be too dumb
been purified lately
and what is adulterated simply repulses the emptiness
of my senses

don't know,
don't know

what is it please? what is it?
please.

My mother used to tell me about vibrations. I didn't really understand too much of what that meant when I was just a boy. To think that invisible feelings, invisible vibrations existed scared me to death.

The Purpose Of Metaphors

you like to be candid
and yet no matter what honest words
in the most simple terms

they still
refuse to understand what you really
want to mean

to say
you shall meet metaphors
those that go inside them
their tone and color and shape and scent
what you have

obviously
you begin to hide what they refuse to believe
dress them
and give them a new face a new set of arms and feet
and these all get near them
and shake hands with them
and then

they relate and begin to understand
you

how can they ever think of something else
beyond what you do not understand

you keep the emotion inside you
you give them a fragile butterfly from your mouth

and awed
they start to believe what pains you

in your hiding things
something new opens

a door, a window, a heart, a mouth

Invisible Man

You don't see me.
But I stand right here.
For my past mistakes.
Made me disappear.

The invisible man.
I am to you now.
I want you to see me.
Please let me know how.

Your loving gaze.
Pillow talk nights.
The laughs we shared.
Let me be in your sights.

Sharing our dreams.
Where did they all go?
Are they invisible too?
Don't let this be so.

Fun times with the kids.
Last minute trips.
Holding you close.
Your warm sweet lips.

Your gentle touch.
Your beautiful smile.
Are they gone forever?
Or just for a while?

Things taken fore granted.
But now I can see.
You through the Lord's eyes,
And not those of me.

Invisible people.
In an invisible world.
Now the sight is obtained.
As His plan unfurls.

I now see you clearly.
You're invisible no more.
You're even more beautiful.
Than ever before.

One day you may see me.
But for now I'm unseen.
He can make things much better.
Than they ever had been.

Invisible, I'll wait.
Until you see me again.
Until your trust I rebuild.
And your love I regain.

It will not be easy.
But I know it is right.
For love endures all.
So for yours I will fight.

God says it is worth it.
And I have to agree.
Through His love I will show her,
And one day, she'll see me.

I'm the Invisible man.
With my love of no end.
All the pain I will feel.
You are worth it my friend.

Goals.....

it is not a question anymore
of whether i am in or out

or whether i am acceptable
or disgusting

it is the passion that works now
automated,

it does not consider anything
outside itself

it is burning to eternity
it lights

and whatever darkness is there
it disappears

and those who had seen what is happening
within

and of course no one really bothers
simply considers it as

a form of routine
something that must be discarded because it can be the source
of envy

as

imagine, this, as other lights face
and die

as the darkness of their hearts win
you continue to shine

glossy in the universe
like a new born galaxy

whirling faster away from them
who until now

cannot understand or

simply refuse to because they do not have it

there is no inkling
nothing to speak

out there new stars come out
exploding

ordinary men continue
to tarry on what is not important

like building a house for their future
when it is not there yet

where is it? it is here
that is the perfect hint so far.

My final merit I refuse you, I refuse putting from me what I really am, Encompass worlds but never try to encompass me, I crowd your sleekest and best by simply looking toward you. Writing and talk do not prove me, I carry the plenum of proof in my face, With the hush of my lips I wholly confound the skeptic.

Invisible Tool

I love my invisible tool,
It shapeshifts into many forms and its damn cool,
It follows me everywhere i go,
if anyone asks a trade for it, i'll say 'no, '

I am lucky i used it in the graduation mass,
And hell yes, it saved my ass.
My invisible tool is so damn invisible,
it is no doubt the most invincible!

I believe everyone has their own invisible tool,
and each of us can only feel our own tool,
As for me, my invisible tool is my cour,
I am so happy i wanted to buy a whore!

The Way To Create Meaning

there is nothing
wrong with
believing that when we
die
we simply return
to our
original nature

atomic particles
reduced neurons
roving neutrons
simply
untangled from
a body

it can be harsh
it can be truthfully harsh

but i am given
a choice
whether to be
literal or
figurative

whether to see
a landscape
or simply an
array of
random particles
floating in
air in silence
meaninglessly

what makes me distinct
is my imagination

as of now i am
a body
with all my senses
on

when i die
i can still be
a flying spirit
unseen
and still as
beautiful as
i think myself
to be

even if death
reduces me into
atomic particles
i can still
dance in the
mystery of
my own
fantasy

i refuse to be
simply
a meaningless set
of dust
beneath the
feet of
this earth

A love of the day

I could not see her smile
it was long ago for a while
it flickered in moon light
A glorious moment to be called right

I love a special day
which brings smile all the way
it may be in the form of ray
thought it may be distantly away

Who can know and take it for real?
it has to be inwardly and must feel
if not then you are simply called rotten
it is off the scene and totally forgotten

it does not come all of sudden
it is not to be invited even
it emerges from invisible land
Only God extends his invisible hand

Just to Get Upset

I wish you knew what I felt inside for you...
But you do!
And you screwed that up.
Yes you.

To blow us up!
And then you hand me a bucket,
Of corrupted love.
What am I suppose to do with this?
Argue about it to feed your evil need.

And we do.
Yes we do.
Yes we,
Do!

Do...
Too much.
Just to get upset,
Too much.
And refuse to listen,
Too much.
And want to understand,
Too much.
Without comprehending,
Too much.

YES...
We do,
Do!

Do...
Too much.
Just to get upset,
Too much.
And refuse to listen,
Too much.
And want to understand,
Too much.
Without comprehending,
Too much.

YES...
We do,
Do!

I wish you knew what I felt inside for you.
