Invisible Exile

by Yuka Kato

It’s the same old week

Shadows come and go I see

And I’m behind my huge glass window

Already lost the strength

To raise my voice in vain

And tell them I’m no longer sane

 

‘Cause I’m invisible and in exile

Feeling out of place everywhere I go

Slipped in a place to hide and weep

But then again it’s time to leave

Even I can’t see myself right

Even I can’t see myself right

 

Now the shadows went unseen

And I’m in a submarine

Not the spaceship I’d long dreamed of

I heard an astronaut say

“Man, you need to get a life”

But how can I do that? I’m drowning meanwhile

 

‘Cause I’m invisible and in exile

Stabbed by the steely gaze so

Slipped in a place to hide and breathe

But then again it’s time to leave

Even though I’m still bleeding

Even though I’m still bleeding

 

Crashed the window somehow

And managed to get out

I lay flat on the bottom of the deep sea

I wonder in the dim light from far above

When again will I be on the shore?

I remember I have done this long before

 

‘Cause I’m invisible and in exile

Feeling out of place everywhere I go

Slipped in a place to hide and weep

But then again it’s time to leave

Even I can’t see myself right

Even I can’t see myself right
