Tattoo

Tattoo,I am forever branded.
Left the mark,gave a scar.
You were the most hiporcrtical by far.
Stare at the bazaar.
The tattoo that is my woe.
It was all purely for show.

Scared for all eternity.
Your malicious hue,
gets beneath my skin.
I felt like I could swim.
In your ocean once upon a time.
But now I'm the drowing man.
I'm the drowning man.

Sign from above?
Or fates cruel hand?
Why couldn't I see,
that we were not meant to be.

tattoo,scared my soul.
tattoo,a bitter memento,
tattoo, never washes away.

Skin leak a vermillion red
The extra layer has been shed.
Your hue has stained my skin.
your mark is forever captured within.

your beneath my skin
beneath my skin.
beneath my skin.
