[Verse 1] For once, I try To sink right through No road in sight No hand to use I sat still Let the hurt come down Ink in my soul Tears on paper now I been heavy Too long, too long Carried that weight Till it felt like stone No where to go So I wrote it out Every cracked thought Let it leak right out [Pre-Chorus] If I fall Let me fall clean If I break Put it in between All my fear And my name I can’t talk it So I paint the pain [Chorus] Ink in my soul Tears on paper Ink in my soul I let it save me Ink in my soul When I can’t say it Ink in my soul I make it bleed me [Verse 2] I knew the dark Had my address first Knocked on my chest Made the whole room worse Still I stood there With a shaking hand Turned my ruin Into a bitter gram One line, then two Then the flood came through Black on the page Like a bruise that grew If you ask why I don’t look away I was lost so long I learned how to stay [Pre-Chorus] If I fall Let me fall clean If I break Put it in between All my fear And my name I can’t talk it So I paint the pain [Chorus] Ink in my soul Tears on paper Ink in my soul I let it save me Ink in my soul When I can’t say it Ink in my soul I make it bleed me [Bridge] No one to call So I called the page Spit out the shame And I fed the flame If the floor disappears I still got a name Written in scars Written in rain [Final Chorus] Ink in my soul Tears on paper Ink in my soul I let it save me Ink in my soul When I can’t say it Ink in my soul I make it bleed me
