Tattoos

I don’t speak now that I’m high 
Tangled up the telephone line 
Don’t wait for me I’m over you 
There’s no ink on my skin but you gave me tattoos 

(Ink on my skin)
(All over my skin)

Press the needle into my neck, I forget how
You left fingerprints on her dress from the waist down 
Tearing the flesh from my bones, carved our names in stone
Turned me into your clone 

Now I’m, I’m onto something better than myself and I 
Am staring down the elevator shaft of time
Spiraling down a staircase, can I please escape?
I’ve abandoned this place 

I don’t speak now that I’m high 
Tangled up the telephone line 
Don’t wait for me I’m over you 
There’s no ink on my skin but you gave me tattoos 

Press the needle into my neck
(Press the needle into my neck)
You left fingerprints on her dress
(You left fingerprints on her dress)

Thought I, I found myself while curing this amnesia
I got lost while I was choked on anesthesia
Got caught up mourning the death, the idea
Pictures of you, inky blue

I don’t speak now that I’m high 
Tangled up the telephone line 
Don’t wait for me I’m over you 
There’s no ink on my skin but you gave me these 

I don’t speak now that I’m higher 
Stand and watch this city catch fire 
Feels permanent the blood you drew 
Stained all over my skin, you scarred me with tattoos
