Lyrics
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)
