Lyrics
IVORY
Verse 1
Another day another night that will suffer casualties
With career conclusions and resolutions all collapsing down on me
The rope gets shorter and the slack in time is pulled secure
Still I would rather marry my ivory and be peaceful and poor
Verse 2
People say that I can?t live a life on art alone
Well if you?d ever graced my garden you?d see my music is homegrown
And there is nothing like the warmth inside your belly?s hull
From a full meal of music that caters to a part of you
And feeds it till it?s full
Bridge
So just give me four white walls and a white road of keys for my fingers to walk on
Cause when you look here it?s only wood and strings that you see
But I recognize the 88 tones of gleaming possibility for me
Verse 3
Another day another night that won?t get the best of me
Cause I?m living like a lantern fueled by oils that are far from free
But it?s a small price to pay for all I?ve gotten in return
And when I?m heavy to create you know you catch my fingers weight
And you move me to a greatness that I never thought that I could be
My ivory
