Pens and Ink
Meli Tierra
Pens and Ink, black cat on the sink
Wish my cup was full of coffee, but all I’ve got is grounds
The power went down yesterday, on a day
To celebrate the earth
People build walls and structures to
Keep themselves protected
While technology drowns their souls away
Will you turn off your phone?
Will you open up your mind?
To other ways to communicate
Will you delve deep into the dirt?
Will you let your heart start to feel the habits of the past eradicate?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
As a child I knew how to trust
Now cynicism shrouds my every doubt
Too caught up in ego too caught up in lust
Pain is a common misnomer for growth
And longing, longing
Will you turn off your phone?
Will you open up your mind?
To other ways to communicate
Will you delve deep into the dirt?
Will you let your heart start to feel the habits of the past eradicate?
Oooh ooooh ooohh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ah, ah
