The Connie Dungs - Typical Tattoo lyrics

There’s no telling what we just might do I don’t want to get the typical tattoo We’ll have to choose, permanent and true There’s a devil on my shoulder of the angel in my ear You’d die if you could see the dreams I’ve had between these ringing ears That nagging fear pierces like a spear Your favorite dream and your worst nightmare came to life Hand me a knife Your heart or mine? Followed by a black cloud all damn day It’s swelled up with all the words that you won’t say It won’t go away, it’s like a bird of prey There’s a devil on your shoulder, oh my precious angel dear And on the other I stand screaming But it’s not exactly clear just who you hear A long time ago I cut all signs of hope upon the razor wire That separated soil from life You can mark my word I’m telling total truths There’s not much more to say When words on paper bruise your heart My hearts not dead, there still exists a thread So sew me back together I’ll remember to forget her
