The Author Lyrics by Illustrator (KY)

Identity

0

[Chorus]
Douse the quill in the ink
And tell me what you're thinking of
When you're alone
And the isolation works its way to you

Douse the quill in the ink
And tell me what you're thinking of
When you're alone
And the isolation works its way to you

[Verse 1]
I've been writing the same thing for what seems like years
And I believe that I can see the ending
I'd be lying if I said that I was satisfied
With every twist that the pen has spilled with my expense
You know that I can
I can see the ending

[Verse 2]
Evеry day is another chapter
Sometimеs I find myself with a pen
Scribbling bits and pieces
To a story that was never mine
This is an art that we'll master in time
It's quite alright to admit it, you're in need of a guide

[Refrain]
You've been lying with no intention, oh
I'm tying up loose ends and plot holes
I've been waiting and patiently assessing
Your character down [?]

[Chorus]
Douse the quill in the ink
And tell me what you're thinking of
When you're alone
And the isolation works its way to you—

Are my life's work
The words we write are intertwined
Just like the plot
And [?] must be one and the same

[Refrain]
You've been lying with no intention, oh
I'm tying up loose ends and plot holes
I've been waiting and patiently assessing
Your character down [?]

[Outro]
All I have to do to find you again
Is open these pages and relive the story of you and I
This is a story only you can predict
With every line[?] that you paint[?] will determine the ending
With words unspoken, a parchment written
Only you can finish your manuscript
