Pierced through the surface of my soul

These scars feel like stories that we never wanted told

And how do I forget when all I see

Are these images of you creating war inside of me?

The mark you left runs deep

So how can I not bleed?

Your name feels like needles in my skin

Oh, the stain underneath is permanent

I can't wipe away these memories that never should have been

Now your name is just needles in my skin

Living art that you create

Written by the hands of fate

Reminding me of our mistakes

That we could not anticipate

Another day in the life

The mark you left runs deep

To get you out of my sight

So how can I not bleed?

Your name feels like needles in my skin

Oh, the stain underneath is permanent

I can't wipe away these memories that never should have been

Now your name is just needles in my skin

And if I can't break through to you

Then you were never mine to lose

And if I can't break through to you

Then go ahead, live with the life you choose

We knew this house we built was never gonna hold

But it's hard to walk away

When you have to learn

To do it on your own

Your name feels like needles in my skin

Oh, the stain underneath is permanent

Your name feels like needles in my skin

Oh, the stain underneath is permanent

I can't wipe away these memories that never should have been

Now your name is just needles in my skin

Your name feels like needles in my skin

The stain underneath is permanent

It's all that I can see

I can't wipe away these memories that never should have been

How do I escape?

Now your name is just needles in my skin (Your name, your face, your stain)
