Accidental Tattoo

If you listen past the words and make them about you

Cause that rings true

If you pick yourself a song

From the splinters of a storm

With your hands worn

You didn’t feel the verse til later

Your stomach dropped like an elevator

Going down down down down down

As you sing along

And you float upon the wreckage of a poem

You are a love song

Thank you for listening

Especially if you had to disappear

Hitch your wagon to the unknown

With mixed results you don’t know

What they’ll sow, no

Spots and stripes your pleasure

Music as the measure

Let’s split the check and let’s get outta here

I cherish the scars balmed by you

Accidental tattoo

Proving love is the light and the might and the truth

I cherish the scars balmed by you

Accidental tattoo

Proving love is the light and the might and the truth

As you sing along

And you float upon the wreckage of a poem

You’re a love song

Love is the light and the might and the truth
