Ink and Iron Bars

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sunlight leaks through the iron bars
Honey drips on these paper scars
Found a box by the jasmine jars
Dusty dreams and the evening stars
Tracing loops of a fading ink
Before I have the time to think
[Pre-Chorus]
You didn't build a palace high
Or write my name across the sky
Just a note on a Tuesday noon
Humming a very simple tune
[Chorus]
It’s the cursive in the quiet
A soft and holy riot
Paper thin but heavy gold
Stories that the heart has told
Keep the diamonds, keep the wine
Just give me every single line
[Post-Chorus]
Every single line
Yeah, it feels so fine
In the golden time
Like a perfect rhyme
[Verse]
Copper light on the brickwork wall
Watching every shadow fall
Your 'g's are tall, your 't's are crossed
None of the magic has been lost
Better than a digital text
Wondering what is coming next
[Chorus]
It’s the cursive in the quiet
A soft and holy riot
Paper thin but heavy gold
Stories that the heart has told
Keep the diamonds, keep the wine
Just give me every single line
[Hook]
Seal it with a spirit
Can you hear it?
Feel it
Heal it
[Bridge]
Wurlitzer keys and a bended note
Reading the words that the silence wrote
Muted trumpet in the hazy air
Finding the grace in the way you care
Small ink stains on my fingertips
A secret smile upon my lips
[Verse]
The fire escape is a velvet throne
In a world that is made of stone
You said my laugh was a melody
Now it’s returning back to me
No grand stage or a hollow shout
Just what the soul is all about
[Chorus]
It’s the cursive in the quiet
A soft and holy riot
Paper thin but heavy gold
Stories that the heart has told
Keep the diamonds, keep the wine
Just give me every single line
[Post-Chorus]
Every single line
Yeah, it feels so fine
In the golden time
Like a perfect rhyme
[Outro]
