Tracing the lines on a blank page
Lines that were never there
Trying to find my way out of this paper maze
But the page won't tare

You come alive on the page
Your ink stains it red
Your love your pain your hope your rage
It gets into my head

You can't be re-written
Can't be erased
You tear out the ending
And re-write a whole new page
The chapter that would end it all
Starts again
As the hero enters in

The cut out words have been erased
You've taken their place
The story isn't over yet
I'm reading you between the lines
You're the word so new it shines
And flips the story on it's head
I lay down the life I led
You can author me instead
