This Tattoo

With this tattoo you make a promise

Of who you are and what you think

And this will be your binding contract

Written down in blood and ink



She had a life to live

The day she left home

She vowed no surrender

No company drone



She wrote it down in crimson

She wrote it down in black

She wrote it down so deep

She's never gonna take it back



Make your clear and solemn vow

Before the age of compromise

Write it here and write it now

Always right before your eyes



This tattoo

This tattoo will hold your vision

Always looking back at you

This tattoo, this tattoo, this tattoo



It isn't on the surface

Doesn't need to be

She wrote it down so deep

Only she can see



She doesn't have to show it

It didn't made for show

She spells it out in action

It's written on her soul



Make your clear and solemn vow

Before the age of compromise

Write it here and write it now

Always right before your eyes



This tattoo

This tattoo will hold your vision

Always looking back at you

This tattoo, this tattoo, this tattoo
