The Taste Of Ink Lyrics

Is it worth it, can you even hear me?
Standing with your spotlight on me
Not enough to feed the hungry
I'm tired and I've felt it for awhile now
In this sea of lonely
The taste of ink is getting old
It's four o'clock in the fucking morning
Each day gets more and more like the last day
Still I can see it coming
While I'm standing in the river drowning
This could be my chance to break out
This could be my chance to say good-bye
At last it's finally over
Couldn't take this town much longer
Being half-dead wasn't what I planned to be
Now I'm ready to be free

So here I am, it's in my hands
And I'll savour every moment of this
So here I am, alive at last
And I'll savour every moment of this

And won't you think I'm pretty
When I'm standig top the bright lit city
And I'll take your hand and pick you up
And keep you there so you can see
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
We'll drink and dance the night away

As long as you're alive
Here I am
I promise I will take you there

Well, at www.theused.net, they say that this song a song about the band. Like, the ups and downs to being a band and touring. Btw, I see just one mistake in the lyrics. Instead of "as long as you're alive i promise i will take you there we'll drink and dance the night away"

it should be

"as long as you're alive and care I promise I will take you there We'll drink and dance the night away"

...from what i've heard from a close friend of mine, this song is really about the band. you can have your own interpretations of it from being about love or bert's ex or drugs or whatever but the main gist is that the taste of ink is about the band's rise to success. This song was the last song they made in the album from what i know and it was the first song released or at least the song that made them famous. It's about finally, after the hard work put thru the album, they've reached fame. and true enough, they had the spotlight on them. great band, beautifully written. the song's classic for our generation.
