Invisibility
My country tis’ of thee
Sweet land of liberty
In which I am free to be me

Invisibility
My secret identity
Burying my secrets deep inside of me
Far away so no one will see

Invisibility
Sneaking and whispering
Lying and contriving
My true self I am hiding

Invisibility
Things got out mistakenly
Now it is all a mystery
How the life I once lived is now history

Invisibility
It was so easily revealed
What I had tried so hard to conceal
Now after this we are all struggling to heal

Invisibility
My country tis’ of thee
Sweet land of liberty
In which I am free to be me

And when I find me
I will come out of my cocoon
I will flap my wings
And you will see my beauty

Radiant beauty
My country tis’ of thee
Sweet land of liberty
In which I am free to be me

But now that my secret has come out
Invisibility is now an unknown word to me
And people think it is their responsibility
To figure out who I should really be

But I am finding me
This secrecy is not killing me
One day these lies will unleash me
And I will be who I am destined to be

But in this invisibility
In this deceiving secrecy
In this time of mystery
I shall find me

And when I find me
I will come out of my cocoon
I will flap my wings
And you will see my beauty

Radiant beauty
My country tis’ of thee
Sweet land of liberty
In which I am free to be me
