Poison In The Ink Lyrics
Some might say it's over rated, staring at their shoes. You're arrows don't have poison but they bruise. I can't make peace with you. All my heart is on these pages, open to abuse. I should try to be dishonest but I lose. It's never been for you. Angry eyes, there's poison in the ink. You've got so much time to think about it. Try to put your finger on it and figure out what's right for me and mine. Expletives and explanations fade bruise colored blue. A thicker skin develops on the wound. I won't change it for you. I'm just telling the truth.

I think that it's obvious that this if about the critics, and the people that downtalk the greatness of Matt Pryor's work with The Get Up Kids and The New Amsterdams. He's saying that the words hurt, but he's not changing for anybody, because he writes songs for himself, and not the critics.
this song is so gooood. the new ams are good regardless of what anyone says. i mean the get up kids breaking up sucked but we have lots to remember them by. this song is proof that good songwriting carried over.
