PAINT MY FLESH

I’m sorry father, this ain’t no phase
These etchings on my skin? Permanent!
My art, my love, it’s all I’ve ever been
So, mark me up, carve it in!

It’s easy to pretend, following a trend
But my love is underneath my skin
So brother, with your needle, upon my flesh
Line me up, lace it in!

Yes! PAINT MY FLESH
(paint my, paint my, Paint My Flesh)
Yes! PAINT MY FLESH
(paint my, paint my, Paint My Flesh)

I’m sorry father, I sinned again
This demon on my skin? Permanent!
My art, my love, my everything
So, mark me up, yea, carve it in!

It’s easy to pretend, following a trend
But my love is underneath my skin
So sister, with your needle, upon my flesh
Line me up, lace it in!

Yes! PAINT MY FLESH
(paint my, paint my Paint My Flesh)
Yes! PAINT MY FLESH
(paint my, paint my Paint My Flesh)

My ritual to breathe again, l-lovely needle to my skin
Beloved scraping pain, I’m yours again
My ritual to breathe again, l-lovely needle to my skin
Beloved scraping pain, I am yours!
So, my brother, with your needle, upon my flesh
Line me up, lace it in!

Yes! PAINT MY FLESH
(paint my, paint my Paint My Flesh)
Yes! PAINT MY FLESH
(paint my, paint my Paint My Flesh)
Yes! PAINT MY FLESH
(paint my, paint my Paint My Flesh)
Yes! PAINT MY FLESH
(paint my, paint my Paint My Flesh)
