This Tattoo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
With this tattoo you make a promise of who you are and what you think
this will be your binding contract written down in blood and ink
She had a life to live, the day she left home
She vowed no surrender, No company drone
She wrote it down in crimson, she wrote it down in black
She wrote it down so deep, she's never gonna take it back
Make your clear and solemn vow before the age of compromise
Write it here and write it now always right before your eyes
This tattoo, this tattoo will hold your vision, always looking back at you
This tattoo, this tattoo, this tattoo
It isn't on the surface, it doesn't need to be,
She wrote it down so deep, only she can see
She doesn't have to show it, it isn't made for show
She spells it out in action, its written on her soul
Make your clear and solemn vow before the age of compromise
Write it here and write it now always right before your eyes
This tattoo, this tattoo will hold your vision, always looking back at you
This tattoo, this tattoo, this tattoo
