Poison In The Ink Lyrics - The New Amsterdams

Some might say it's over rated 

Staring at their shoes 

You're arrows don't have poison 

But they bruise 

I can't make peace with you 

All my heart is on these pages 

Open to abuse 

I should try to be dishonest 

But I lose 

I can't make peace with you 

Angry eyes, there's poison in the ink 

You've got so much time to think about it 

Try to put your finger on it 

And figure out what's right for me and mine 

Expletives and explanations 

Fade bruise colored blue 

A thicker skin develops 

On the wound 

I won't change it for you 

Angry eyes, there's poison in the ink 

You've got so much time to think about it 

Try to put your finger on it 

And figure out what's right for me and mine 

Some might say it's over rated 

Staring at their shoes 

You're arrows don't have poison 

But they bruise 

It's never been for you 

I'm just telling the truth
