chet kirkland - Ballpoint Pen Lyrics

One more time
I'll tell you one more time
I'm done with the way you sharpen your knife
In the light of my life
Tell me one more time, make your sacrifice
Why do you lie to the face of I?
Make your mark, kill my spark
Anything to keep yourself alive
I'll use my ballpoint pen to
Draw up the life I wish I lived
You tell me I'm meant to be big, but
Why must you keep me so small?
I'll use my ballpoint pen to
Draw up the things I wish I had
You tell me life's meant to be big, but
Why must you keep mine so so small?
You told me once you could Save my life
You told me once I could GET OUT!
You told me once I was worthy of love,
Of living and soulful beauty
The beautiful nature of Earth and the moon and the
Stars and the start of a home and a place of comfort
(And so I will)
I'll use my ballpoint pen to
Draw up the life I wish I lived
You tell me I'm meant to be big, but
Why must you keep me so small?
I'll use my ballpoint pen to
Draw up the things I wish I had
You tell me life's meant to be big, but
Why must you keep mine so so small?
You can use your ballpoint pen to
Erase, deface, to kill what we had
You know that I'm watching, I'm always watching
I see the way you want to throw us away
