The tattoos you left on me Some can kind of see But most of them are invisible. The Tattoos you see Are all my fault But you're the one who put it in my brain. The tattoos you don't see Linger in the dark. But come inside my head and you'll see them all over again. The tattoos to you are just scars But to me they are everything Because you caused me to have them in the first place. The tattoos, you see, Are the only thing that stays. Everything else dies. The tattoos are my children, And I'm their mother. But you don't get that do you

The Tattoos
The tattoos you left on me Some can kind of see But most of them are invisible. The Tattoos you see Are all my fault But you're the one who put it in my brain. The tattoos you don't see Linger in the dark. But come inside my head and you'll see them all over again. The tattoos to you are just scars But to me they are everything Because you caused me to have them in the first place. The tattoos, you see, Are the only thing that stays. Everything else dies. The tattoos are my children, And I'm their mother. But you don't get that do you
The tattoos my mother have made me have.
