lyrics

Pen to Paper

You twist it turns my feelings away
Dismissed it burns like feeling betrayed
Silently wish words I can't find to say
Doubt slithers slowly out of a drawer
Afraid of the signs that I can not ignore

Once bound in ink a promise as one
Profound, the link forged to not be undone
Those vows and rings symbols and other things in trust
Hope inches slowly down onto the floor
Now I just wait to not care anymore

We can quantify or use a hunch
In the end still not left with much, just the

Pen to paper, one from two
Pen to paper, faithless from true
Pen to paper, black from blue
Pen to paper, me from you

Expunge each part and try to amend
Sign at the start, sign at the end
Just a sign no longer have to pretend
Our union creeps slowly out under the door
Now I just wait to not feel any more

This metonymy I've no time for
Is it too late for peace must we prepare for war with the

Pen to paper, one from two
Pen to paper, faithless from true
Pen to paper, black from blue
Pen to paper, me from you

I know the pen, prefer the sword
One cuts with steel and one with words
Kills one quick or tortures too slow
Lines are drawn toward the way to go
Both leave stains and leave you stunned
One's palette draws from pain and one draws blood
And one, and one draws blood

I'll take the sword
You'll take the pen
Give me the sword
You get the pen
Please no, the sword
Now put the

Pen to paper, one from two
Pen to paper, faithless from true
Pen to paper, black from blue
Pen to paper, me from you
Pen to paper, one from two
Pen to paper, faithless from true
Pen to paper, black from blue
Pen to paper, me from you
