I've put ink in my skin,
To simulate healing.
For the most part it works,
I regain some feeling.
And that's why I am
The girl that you see,
Through so many attempts
To get back to me.
I'll get ink over scars,
But they're one and the same;
They both stand to show
That I've overcome pain.
So I'll cover this body
With these works of art
To try and distract
From my marshmallow heart.

I'll get ink over scars,
But they're one and the same;
They both stand to show
That I've overcome pain.
So I'll cover this body
With these works of art
To try and distract
From my marshmallow heart.
