[Verse 1] Feeling smug about its certainty, evening anticipates day's demise. And as scattered shades of grey gather, blue finds sanctuary in your eyes. As crimson flames melt a stained-glass sky, Sol's scarlet orb reluctantly sinks. And night absorbs the essence of light, sketching silhouettes with blackened inks. [Pre-Chorus] As vermilion tints the horizon, fantasy seems to be everywhere. And dusk ignites flickering fireflies, flashing love signals while in the air. [Chorus] Blackened inks, blackened inks You pull me close like that Blackened inks, blackened inks And the dark feels soft at last [Verse 2] Darkness descends like a shroud of smoke, extinguishing last lingering light. And in the fabric of time and space, stars confetti an ebony night. A liquid moon pools in a black sky, gilding waters of a wishing well. And silence mutes the beat of two hearts, held captive within love's magic spell. [Pre-Chorus] Holding hands they embrace happiness, letting both hearts and souls intertwine. For when two fledgling hearts fall in love, every moment's savored like fine wine. [Chorus] Blackened inks, blackened inks You pull me close like that Blackened inks, blackened inks And the dark feels soft at last [Bridge] Let the horizon burn Let the shadows bloom If the world grows cold I still come to you [Chorus] Blackened inks, blackened inks You pull me close like that Blackened inks, blackened inks And the dark feels soft at last
