The Taste of Ink Live by The Used Lyrics
[Spoken: Bert McCracken]
Last week, we've come together so strongly
It's been so magical that I can't even explain to you how grateful and fortunate, maybe blessed by the universe, I feel
Please forgive me if I have to cry the whole night
And thank you for coming!
On the bass guitar, we of course have Mr. Jeph Howard
The one and only guitar player for The Used, Mr. Justin Shekoski
And a dad like me, Dan Whitesides
My name is Robert McCracken
Thank you for having us
Sing along please!
[Verse 1]
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 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 goodbye now
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 hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am
Alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this
[Verse 2]
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 to so you can see it
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
And we'll drink and dance the night away
Drink and dance the night away
[Chorus]
So here I am
It's in my hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am
Alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this
Savor every moment of this
[Bridge]
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
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 to so you can see
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
[Chorus]
So here I am
It's in my hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am
Alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this
Savor every moment of this
