Lyrics
Verse 1
Name
There’s a line for that
I got one
Am I gonna make it black
Print it neat
Like it never cracked
Like it never yelled at the mirror
When everybody quit callin' back
Address
Yeah I still got a place
Ten years
Same ceiling stain
Same staircase
But the landlord’s eyeing July
And these walls feel like they’re waiting
For me to fly
Chorus
I’m filling out this thing in BLACK INK
X'n black boxes so I don’t OVERTHINK
Every blank feels bigger than the space they give me
“Tell us who you are”
On a single line only
On a single line only
Verse 2
Phone
“best time to reach you?”
Anytime
I don’t sleep like I used to
Education
“Degree or certs you claim”
Community college dropout frame
No fancy letters after my name
Just nights I mastered in blame
“Reason you left your last role?”
Do you mean the picket lines?
Or the quiet in my ribcage
When I signed away my soul
Family— They left with the last job
She did it all sly and clever
Can't say I blame them, it got old
REAL QUICK!
Chorus
I’m filling out this thing in BLACK INK
X'n black boxes so I don’t OVERTHINK
Every blank feels bigger than the space they give me
“Tell us who you are”
On a single line only
On a single line only
Bridge
“Emergency contact”
I stare
And trace the ghost of a number that used to care
“References available?”
Yeah, on paper I swear
But do they still remember
The me who showed up prepared
Not this version scraping by
Desperate, just there
Chorus
I’m filling out this thing in BLACK INK
X'n black boxes so I don’t OVERTHINK
Every blank feels bigger than the space they give me
“Tell us who you are”
And I’m trying to believe
I’m more than what fits
On a single line only
On a single line only (oh)
