In Plain Sight (AKA Animated Life)
(Based on Documentary “Life Animated”)
I'm hiding in plain sight
deep inside my own mind
It may seem like I'm lost
But, I am in here waiting
Struggling hard against time
Will you discover the clues
That seem hidden from view
Tangled in the things I said
Scenes played out in my head
I am in a world animated
By ink and Imagineering
Colored by hope, heroes
And happy endings
In all that color, everything
Seemed so black-and-white
But as you too draw me out
I'm left in a world where
I'm not sure there is wrong and right
I want so much to get the word out
But I can't and I just hate it
Life I fear...
Life in here is just so animated
Somehow the wires got crossed
A little boy got lost
In an animated cell
But, he's not content staying
Struggling hard to bust out
Will you see what it is I see
And help break my mind free
Jumbled in the words I say
Lies the map to find the way
I am in a world animated
By ink and Imagineering
Colored by hope, heroes
And happy endings
In all that color, everything
Seemed so black-and-white
But as you too draw me out
I'm left in a world where
I'm not sure there is wrong and right
I want so much to get the word out
But I can't and I just hate it
Life I fear...
Life in here is just so animated
I don't see myself the villian
I don't see myself the hero here
I don't need the recognition
I just need someone who can hear
So, I'll be on the sidelines
With my friends who too
Have done their time
Comic relief and unwavering belief
Sidekicks need someone like me
Who will stand at their side
I am in a world animated
By ink and Imagineering
Colored by hope, heroes
And happy endings
In all that color, everything
Seemed so black-and-white
But as you too draw me out
I'm left in a world where
I'm not sure there is wrong and right
I want so much to get the word out
But I can't and I just hate it
Life I fear...
Life in here is just so animated
