[Intro]
Blank page
(Staring back)
Lost the words
(Lost the track)
Thought I had
(A thing to say)
Now it slipped
(Slipped… away…)
[Verse 1]
Started with a story
(Burning in my head)
A thousand little thoughts
(That needed said)
Reaching for the pen
(Just to give ‘er a try)
Then I made discovery
(The well’s run dry)
[Pre-Chorus]
Got the paper
(Got the plan)
Got the moment
(If I can)
Got the feeling
(On the brink)
But I’m running…
(Out of ink)
[Chorus]
What do you think?
(Out of ink)
How can I write it down
(…scribe for the crown)
What do you think?
(Out of ink)
The words are all around
(But they can’t be found)
What do you think?
(Out of ink)
How can I tell the tale
(When the letters fail?)
[Refrain]
Nothing to write with
(Still trying)
Nothing to write with
(Still flying)
Searching for a phrase
(Through the haze)
Searching for a line
(Every time)
[Verse 2]
Standing at the crossroads
(Unsure where to begin)
Trying to describe the world
(We’re living in)
[Instrumental]
[Piano Solo]
[Organ Swell]
[Walking Bass]
[Chorus]
What do you think?
(Out of ink)
How can I write it down
(…scribe for the crown)
What do you think?
(Out of ink)
The page is still around
(Waiting to be found)
What do you think?
(Out of ink)
Maybe the missing part
(Is where I start)
[Bridge]
[Arrangement: Drop to piano and voice only]
[Refrain]
Nothing to write with
(Still trying)
Nothing to write with
(Still flying)
Looking for the spark
(In the dark)
Waiting for the dawn
(To come along)
[Final Chorus]
What do you think?
(Out of ink)
How can I write it down
(…scribe for the crown)
What do you think?
(Out of ink)
The story still survives
(Inside our minds)
What do you think?
(Out of ink)
Maybe the missing line
(Just needed time)
[Outro]
Blank page
(Not for long)
New words
(New song)
Out of ink
(So it seems)
Still writing
(In my dreams)
