Catholic Guilt Paper And Ink
[Verse 1]
I almost stood on a syringe tonight
Out the front of my new house
The one I moved to to escape my old life
And the visions came rushing back
It took a minute for the shaking to subside
But when it did I made the sign of the cross
I don't know if I believe in god
All I know is that I wouldn't wish that life on anyone
[Chorus]
And I know it's just paper and ink
But it's a miracle to me, I'd nearly written your eulogy
[Verse 2]
I walked inside and I sat at my kitchen table
Staring at a photo of us taken last summer
There's a light in your eyes, I never thought I'd see again
And there's a beacon of hope smiling next to you
[Chorus]
And I know it's just paper and ink
But it's a miracle to me, I'd nearly written your eulogy
[Bridge]
And that thought chills me to the bone
As much as it gives me hope
That somehow, someway there's room for love in all of us
And room to be loved in return
[Chorus]
And I know it's just paper and ink
But it's a miracle to me, I'd nearly written your eulogy
And that thought chills me to the bone
As much as it gives me hope
That you'll find a way
