Tattoo

Why do I see the color of my eyes?
On your skin permanently sunken through
Why do I see my iris?
Penetrating on your hand
Green and brown
Floating into the sky
That’s my butterfly
That’s my dream

It’s on your skin
Forever
It’s on your skin
Til you are gone cold in your grave
It’s on your skin
Forever
It’s on your skin
Til I’m gone cold in my grave

Why do I see the color of my eyes?
When I don’t remember yours
Why do I see my iris?
When I don’t remember your smile
Green and brown
Floating into the sky
That’s my butterfly
That’s my dream

It’s on your skin
Forever
It’s on your skin
Til you are gone cold in your grave

I was not meant for permanent
Forever
I was not meant for permanent
Til I’m gone cold in this grave
