Invisible Words

Jeff Gordon

July 31 - Started out as “Invisible Things” (from the Poe quote “invisible things are the only reality” - maybe that’s another song), turned into “Invisible Words” which I know a lot about as an introvert. I often prefer to stay silent, but there are times when I wish I would speak up more. The track came together in a completely new way for me - I experimented with some of the VST instruments that are part of my DAW software, which was a lot of fun. Oh, and I added some live trumpet.

VERSE:
You may have strong opinions
But don’t want to rock the boat
The fire inside you is alive
But you feel the need to stay afloat
Can you let go of the anchor
That has you bound in fear
Trust your balance will be enough
To guide you as you steer

CHORUS:
Invisible Words
May eat you up inside
Invisible Words
Is silence worth the slide

VERSE:
The world has been on fire
The TV screams in pain
Echoes of a madman
Who’s clearly on the crazy train
You’d like to join the conversation
Without the argument
Engagement doesn’t work that way
Maybe that’s unfortunate

CHORUS:
Invisible Words
May eat you up inside
Invisible Words
Is silence worth the slide
