Black Ink (Cocojoey Remix)

They said 'write what you know'

But you've known too much

If you write it it might come real

There are things you've felt you don't want friends to feel

So you bite your pen and you suck it in

Black ink dripping down your chin

If you can keep it from the page you just might keep it in

But it pools in your mouth and it stains your teeth

And It trickles into your lungs

There are songs you could write you don't want to be sung

You bleed

You cry

You piss off the big guy

But you won't let one little drop of black ink drip out of your mouth

You said you don't know

Feels weird

You're not sure

But you're not scared

I've been thinking about your big mouth

Your sore throat

Your tight fists

Beating down on your heavy chest

How come I never see you in a white shirt?

What's that about?

Where did you hide those stains that won't come out?

And where'd you get a black tongue like that?

Like mine, still wet

When did you learn to swallow like that?

You bleed

You cry

You piss off the big guy

But you won't let one little drop of black ink drip out of your mouth

You bleed

You cry

You piss off the big guy

But you won't let one little drop of black ink drip out of your mouth

So I bought us a little kit

You can take it home

We can try it

A tattoo gun with a little vial

Pop the lid, fill it up

With black ink you can cough up

Pull the trigger

Let it flow into my chest

Then you'll know

If it feels right

To start your novel on my skin tonight
