Black Ink (2009 co-written by Robin)

Black words soak into the page Things that I'd like to say This ink has begun to dry Same as these tears I've cried My heart stretches to your door But now it's a tenuous link at best Dark phases, it's always the same Lost what I had to gain Surges then falls back again Something that fights within My heart stretches to your door But now it's a tenuous link at best Lonely tear Morning moon Melancholy words will never do The lines are flowing See through my day Now I scale the walls that made me stay A shaft of light illuminates my words Suddenly they look so clear And unexpectedly I realize You will never find your way back here An address scratched so carelessly Now stares back meaninglessly Close the curtain, block out the light Cause when I don't you're my only sight Please take this knife and cut me loose If I could find something that I could build onto To set my roots Bare all my truth Bare all my truth Goodbye to you Goodbye to you
