[Instrumental] [Verse 1] Jagged ink on a crumpled page The mercy of a king in a sterile cage Line of black, like a broken fence Making no goddamn human sense. Is it a five? Or a zero in disguise? My pulse is climbing while the logic dies. He signed his name with a jagged claw Above the limit, above the law. [Pre-Chorus] Ink is bleeding. The clock is bleeding. I’m staring at the scratch of a silver pen Waiting for the "how" and the "where" and the "when". [Chorus] The Scrawl of a God! A secret code for a broken life Sharp as a needle, cold as a knife. I can’t read the cure! I can’t see the way! Just a mess of ink in the light of day. (The Scrawl of a God!) My life is a scribble he threw away! [Verse 2] The pharmacist looks with a vacant eye Tracing the curve where the answers lie. "Maybe it’s this... maybe it’s that..." While my lungs are flat and the room goes black. A masterpiece of arrogance, written in haste Treating my survival like a bitter waste. One drop too many, or one pill too few? The ink is a blur, and I’m turning blue. [Pre-Chorus] Ink is bleeding. The clock is bleeding. I’m staring at the scratch of a silver pen Waiting for the "how" and the "where" and the "when". [Chorus] The Scrawl of a God! A secret code for a broken life Sharp as a needle, cold as a knife. I can’t read the cure! I can’t see the way! Just a mess of ink in the light of day. (The Scrawl of a God!) My life is a scribble he threw away! [Bridge] Decode the ghost! Decode the man! I’m holding my breath as hard as I can! It’s not a language! It’s a barricade! The price for the silence is already paid! (BARRIER! BARRICADE!) [Solo] [Pre-Chorus] Ink is bleeding. The clock is bleeding. I’m staring at the scratch of a silver pen Waiting for the "how" and the "where" and the "when". [Chorus] The Scrawl of a God! A secret code for a broken life Sharp as a needle, cold as a knife. I can’t read the cure! I can’t see the way! Just a mess of ink in the light of day. (The Scrawl of a God!) My life is a scribble he threw away! [Outro] Sign the line! Kill the time! A jagged path... A jagged mess... God is a doctor with a cursive death!
