I'm there just where air's supposed to be
That place where no one can see
Where my smiles and tears don't make a
Penny's worth of difference
To any one around me

I'm there just where noise is supposed to be
That place where no one can hear
Where my laughter and screams of pain
Are drowned in the deafening roar
I'm there, standing next to you
Unkempt and unheard

I'm there just where darkness is
Where no light of the world
Can brighten up my day
I'm there standing behind of you
Just out of sight
You sense me,
You know I'm there

But you'll choose to ignore me
For who wants to be seen
Talking to a man
Who has no present, future or history....
