Send "The Taste Of Ink" ringtones to your cell

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 a while 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 goodbye 
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

(Chorus)
So here I am it's in my hand 
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this

And won’t you think I’m pretty 
When I’m standing 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
And we’ll drink and dance the night away
We’ll drink and dance the night away

(Repeat Chorus)
Savor every moment of this

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

And won’t you think I’m pretty 
When I’m standing top the bright lit city
And I’ll take your hand and pick you up
And keep you there so you can see it
As long as you’re alive and care
I promise I will take you there
As long as you’re alive and care
I promise I will take you there

(repeat Chorus)
Savor every moment of this (x3)

In this sea of lonely the Taste of Ink is getting old .... Aww.... the best lyrics I've ever heard. I love this song to say the least. Although, I do think that Blue and Yellow is their best song.
