Invisible

from I've Got a Fire by Englewood

lyrics

I order my coffee from the pretty-boy barista.
Somehow he manages to look right past and
while his hair is still perfect, not a strand out of place
he somehow forgot to paste the smile back on his face.
When did I turn invisible?

I'm next in line for the tattooed checker.
She's deep in conversation with the grocery bagger.
My organic vegetables are all rung up.
She takes my money and never looks up.
When did I turn invisible?

I don't think I'm any less friendly than I used to be.
I'm pretty sure deep down inside I'm the same old me.
My jeans are no more faded than they always were.
And I feel pretty certain I'm wearing the same t-shirts.
I've somehow managed to turn invisible.

I dodge through swarms of phone-clutching hipsters
who never look up to see who they just missed.
They each wear a backpack instead of a briefcase.
And every time they turn around it barely misses my face.
When did I turn invisible?

It's not a phenomenon that I can clearly describe.
They've somehow collectively figured I'm not in their tribe.
There must be a clever way I can put this to use.
And make it a magical power instead of abuse.
Because I've somehow managed to turn...
I've kind of always wanted to turn...
I've finally managed to turn...
Invisible...
