Invisible Lyrics

"I'm used to it"

A phrase I know by rote

A conduit

For lumps inside my throat

Swallow, swallow

Holding it down

Wallow, wallow

But don't make a sound

Hidden inside

An ocean resides

Deep in my bones

A curse you can't find

It's inexplicable

And indivisible

It's invisible

"It's negative"

The words I dread to taste

Fits the narrative

You keep to save your face

Swallow, swallow

Tongue going numb

Quietly, quietly

Coming undone

Hidden inside

An ocean resides

Deep in my bones

A curse you can't find

It's inexplicable

And indivisible

It's invisible

Should I stay or should I leave?

I can never tell

If it's a real emergency

Or a symptom swell

Glass and grass feels one and same

A pins and needles kind of pain

Will you stay or will you leave?

Is it all too much?

The way my illness makes us grieve?

Have you had enough?

Hidden inside

An ocean resides

Deep in my bones

A curse you can't find

It's inexplicable

And indivisible

MRI contrast

Emergency contacts

Treatment resistance

A medical outcast

Inadmissible

And dismissible

It's invisible
