lyrics

There are parts of me you made with markers
Others we tattooed together,
And others done on us by everyone around us.
Some seared in as brands by the lives we were born in,
others tattooed by friends and strangers as we lived those lives with them.
Some made out of pencil by the lies we told ourselves
and others made out of iron by the truth we made ourselves.
And I want it all indelible, every bit of ink or ash that you've left on me,
But I worry that even the most staining ink
Will only stand as well to time
As Sharpie on the surface of the sun
and not even the industrial kind.

So every day I reink outline
Hoping it'll last a little more long.
