Like A Tattoo   





He told me sweet lies of sweet love 

Heavy with the burden of the truth 

And he spoke of his dreams 

Broken by the burden 

Broken by the burden of his youth 

Fourteen years he said 

I couldn't look into the sun 

She saw him laying at the end of my gun 

Hungrey for life 

And thirsty for the distant river 

I remember his hands 

And the way the mountains looked 

The light shot diamonds from his eyes 

Hungry for life 

And thirsty for the distant river 

Like the scar of age 

Written all over my face 

The war is still raging inside of me 

I still feel the chill 

As i reveal my shame to you 

I wear it like a tattoo 

I wear it like a tattoo 

I wear it like a tattoo
