Inkwood Reborn

[Verse 1] I sank in the well Black ink on my skin Letters with no breath No heart to live in Pale page, dead grass Moon on the bowl I held all that silence And it swallowed my soul [Pre-Chorus] Then the dark broke open Like a board in my hand Dormant blood started calling From the dust in the land [Chorus] Burn me back Burn me back I rise from the ash Burn me back Burn me back I come alive at last (Oh) One new word One new spark I was dead in the ink Now I howl from the dark [Verse 2] Silver page, red vein Wood grain, heart scar Every beat is a mark Every mark goes far I taste the first letter Like rain on stone I was empty and buried Now I’m carved in bone [Pre-Chorus] Hear the dead words shaking In the ribs of the night A poet comes crawling Then he stands in the light [Chorus] Burn me back Burn me back I rise from the ash Burn me back Burn me back I come alive at last (Oh) One new word One new spark I was dead in the ink Now I howl from the dark [Bridge] Time after time I die on the page Then the flame takes shape And the heart beats rage No end to the falling No end to the fight I write my own name In the wound of the night [Final Chorus] Burn me back Burn me back I rise from the ash Burn me back Burn me back I come alive at last (Oh) One new word One new spark I was dead in the ink Now I howl from the dark
