Ink Lyrics by Carissa Johnson

For Now

2015

Drove all night to get away to nowhere fast and back again
Painted the underside of my nails with the ink inside my head
I'm ink without a paper or a pen, mind set on leaving so
Call me a dropout, baby
Call me anything
Say I should grow up, show up to a job I hate
I'm not one for settling down
I've been on the upswing lately
It took a while and it's all gonna fall apart again if I stay
So if I may, I'm calling to quit right now
I'm ink with every last good intent making a goddamn mess so
Call me a sellout, baby
After all these years
Say that I best invest in something I really hate
If I don't wanna sleep on the ground
Leaning on a ladder latеly
And it could fail, it could fall, it could break me
But any which way it takes mе, I'll come back to you
I'm ink in a line through every page
I made the craters on the moon and they made me
So call me crazy, baby
Call me anything
I left my job, my school, my band, goddamn, I'm beat
Trashing everybody's plans for me
I've been on my way to a better year
Took a while and I've still got a ways to go
Are you friend or foe? These days, I really can't tell
I'm ink bled onto the next page
Rushing to get out of my shell
