Ink on my skin, burned deep, etched my cries
Every needle scream a truth no one denies
Black and red they bleed, my life's frail thread
Every line alive, while the past is dead
Dragon on my shoulder, horse for freedom seized
Skull on my fist, whispers rage never appeased
Roses on my ribs with thorns that bite
Every petal scars a battle fought in flight
I'm tattooed in scars, stories carved in pain
Each one etched in fire, from drought to rain
My past on my skin, don't ask me to explain
I'm inked in truths, raw, bare and untamed
Chains on my spine, twisted tales of regret
A compass on my chest, pulling me to forget
Flames on my arm, burn for past forsaken
This moving canvas, breathing broken, shaken
Underneath the marks where flesh breaks and tears
Lies the map of a rebel plagued with despair
These are my memoirs, not written in ink
But burned deep where the mind won't think
I'm tattooed in scars, stories carved in pain
Each one etched in fire, from drought to rain
My past on my skin, don't ask me to explain
I'm inked in truths, raw, bare and untamed
I'm tattooed in scars, stories carved in pain
Each one etched in fire, from drought to rain
My past on my skin, don't ask me to explain
I'm inked in truths, raw, bare and untamed
Bare and untamed
