India Ink

(Erika Poling)

This song is inspired by night time visions and thoughts. It embodies artistic expression of what goes through a creative's mind when they are alone, looking at the stars.

I think more at night
Compared to thoughts in daylight 
The stars come alive
My mind's no longer a pitch black sky 

Time always passes by
Quicker than you think
When you're all by yourself 
Your eyes ask you to blink 

The longer you smile at the Universe,
You begin to shrink 
And I draw pictures in the sky 
With India Ink 
When you're all by yourself 
Your eyes ask you to blink 
Time always passes by
Quicker than you think 

As I'm alone, I stare
My dreams are pictures up there 
Just my mind and I, 
In the middle of nowhere
A flame grows brighter in fire 
As it meets with air 
Until it suddenly starts to vanish 
Vanishing elsewhere 
Time passes by quicker than you think
I draw pictures in the sky with India ink 

At night, that's when I think of you 
You're a rainbow in the back of my head
And in my daydreams too 
I wish upon a star, that you chose me instead
But I know in my heart
That shooting star is dead
You asked me where I came from 
"The Universe," I said

A pitch black sky
Time always passes by 
Quicker than you think 
When you're all by yourself 
Your eyes ask you to blink 

The longer you smile at the Universe,
You begin to shrink 
And I draw pictures in the sky 
With India Ink 
When you're all by yourself 
Your eyes ask you to blink 
Time always passes by
Quicker than you think 

As I'm alone, I stare
My dreams are pictures up there 
Just my mind and I, 
In the middle of nowhere
A flame grows brighter in fire 
As it meets with air 
Until it suddenly starts to vanish 
Vanishing elsewhere 
Time passes by quicker than you think
I draw pictures in the sky with India ink 

I prefer the night 
Over daylight
A nighttime ride 
But there's no stars in sight 
We weren't written in the sky 
Babe, we're not alright 

As I'm alone, I stare
My dreams are pictures up there 
Just my mind and I, 
In the middle of nowhere
A flame grows brighter in fire 
As it meets with air 
Until it suddenly starts to vanish 
Vanishing elsewhere 
Time passes by quicker than you think
I draw pictures in the sky with India ink
