Ink Through the Water

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wrote it on the bathroom tile With a marker running dry Every name I tried to bury Came back wearing my eyes [Pre-Chorus] I keep my hands beneath the water Still the ink comes through [Chorus] I hate the way I turn on me The little cuts I never see I say I’m fine, I lock the door Then blame myself for wanting more If I could meet me where I am I’d try to understand [Verse 2] The kettle clicks, the hallway’s quiet One sock on the stair I rehearse the cruelest answers Like somebody’s waiting there [Pre-Chorus] I keep my hands beneath the water Still the ink comes through [Chorus] I hate the way I turn on me The little cuts I never see I say I’m fine, I lock the door Then blame myself for wanting more If I could meet me where I am I’d try to understand [Bridge] Maybe I can leave one sentence Unfinished for tonight Maybe I can hold my own hand Till the room feels right [Final Chorus] I hate the way I turn on me But I’m still here, still trying to breathe I’ll open up, unlock the door I don’t have to keep score anymore If I can meet me where I am I’ll try to understand [Outro] One sentence left unfinished One light left on
