Benjamin Tod - The Paper & The Ink lyrics

Your arrow ain't sharp but age
Made deadly your aim
If I kill or get killed, my dear
Would you love me the same
And as I get older I realize
The time has a way
And the patience you build in your
Youth will discern how you age

And some song I swore I'd never sing
From years before I held a dream
My page is worn like oaths I keep
I'll die between the paper and the ink

This journal ain't mine but it's
Filled with my misery
Passed down by a friend who was
Taken too soon to complete
And bound in the blood of
Living like we were deceased
Now I live with the debt that
It easily could have been me

And some song I swore I'd never sing
From years before I held a dream
My page is worn like oaths I keep
I'll die between the paper and the ink

So lay your head easy
Don't shed tears for me
We are given this life but
Nobody said it was free

And some song I swore I'd never sing
From years before I held a dream
My page is worn like oaths I keep
I'll die between the paper and the ink
