Paper and Pen - Lesley Barber

Pen and paper You're drawing me in Tell me you're sorry You already did Remember that song you played for me You forget so easily Fading back into the corners of my mind I, start to wonder Why Heavy rain, coffee stain Say we need to rearrange Black shoes short fuse I don't want to look at you Quiet as a crashing wave Hiding there in your favourite place You can't escape, no I, start to wonder Why I, can't help but wonder Why Those words are written on the walls inside my head I'm connecting what you said with what you meant You tell me I don't know myself I, start to wonder Why I, can't help but wonder Why

Touched the mirror Broke the surface of the water Saw my true self All illusions shattered Money's only paper, only ink We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree How the world turns Who made the sun Who owns the sea The world we know will fall piece by piece Sat down up close to the colored black hole Like they'd always told me not to Saw the one dimension, polka dot pacifier And all the illusions shattered Money's only paper, only ink We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree How the world turns Who made the sun Who owns the sea The world we know will fall piece by piece Bared myself wholly, heart and body unadorned Stripped down solely To the evil and the good Felt no shame Naked to the world And all the illusions shattered Money's only paper, only ink We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree How the world turns Who made the sun Who owns the sea The world we know will fall piece by piece Faced towards the sea Looked to heaven up above Felt the world revolve around me No one could tell me otherwise But the turbulent waters won't reflect this life Only the sun, the moon, and sky And all the illusions shattered All the illusions shattered Money's only paper, only ink We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree How the world turns Who made the sun Who owns the sea The world we know will fall piece by piece Money's only paper, only ink Money's only paper, only ink Money's only paper, only ink Money's only paper, only ink

Well there it is in black and white No need to read between the lines You made it clear to the letter You're breaking off the chains that bind I want to tell you but I'm drawing a blank Ink and Paper - Were quite enough to make it clear Ink and Paper - And the words keep ringing in my ears Ink and Paper - A broken heart in black and white So many miles separate us And they've come between us in the end Once upon a time you said forever But this is now and that was then I want to tell you but I'm drawing a blank Ink and Paper - Can't seem to put it down tonight Ink and Paper - Can't find the words to write Ink and Paper - How can I make them change your mind I want to tell you but I'm drawing a blank Ink and Paper - Not quite enough to make it clear Ink and Paper - And her words keep ringing in my ears Ink and Paper - A broken heart in black and white
