Under Your Tattoos

(album: Aurora - 2021)

Were you planning on letting me know
About the pills you've been taking and why
Were you planning on letting me know
Why you wake up screaming at night

Were you planning on letting me know
What the words on your wrist really mean
About the tattoos that cover your arms
With the secrets that lie underneath

I saw you under the blood moon
I saw you without your mask
I saw you without your tattoos
And all I could see were your scars

I still believe in you
But don't believe in your excuse
Because I know what you've been hiding
Hiding under your tattoos

Were you planning on telling me why
You keep on turning the radio off
Every time that they're playing our song
And go on acting like nothing is wrong

Were you planning on letting me know
About the body you left in the trunk
When the truth is the roadkill you left
All broken and covered in blood

I saw you under the blood moon
I saw you without your mask
I saw you without your tattoos
And all I could see were the scars

I still believe in you
But don't believe in your excuse
Because I know what you've been hiding
Hiding under your tattoos

Why
Were you planning on telling me why
Why you wake up screaming at night
Tell me why
You keep repeating things under your breath
As if the dead and forgotten can hear you

I still believe in you
But don't believe in your excuse
Because I know what you've been hiding
Hiding under your tattoos
