lyrics

(Verse 1)
I am the one that’s out of sight
The one that’s out of mind
I am the one you deemed unequal
On that dark October night
I am the flicker that you see
In the corner of your eye
And you’re the reason why my parents
Don’t even know that I’m alive

(Chorus)
I could have sworn that riddles were supposed to be clever
If you didn’t know until now, better late than never

(Verse 2)
I am the one you overlooked
The one you undermined
I am the arrow that missed the mark
That my bloodline set so high
I am the cigarette you need
But couldn’t seem to light
And you’re the water I will drown in
That is trapped beneath the ice

(Chorus)
(Bridge)
You know I’m not in the business of
Taking these words you say to heart
And it would seem that your wick is running out
And your puddle of wax is creeping up
To the pale blue flame you radiate
Which neither heats, nor illuminates
I am the gust of wind you so desperately have been trying to evade

(Outro)
Is this what you call “so clever”?
Did you think I wouldn’t know better?
I saw you coming a mile away
