SAVIOR MIND TATTOO

Moon in the trees

shows you so enthralled with me

But I don’t see

your Savior mind tattoo

Rustling leaves,

I can’t hear them calling me

while you whisper

all I mean to you

What kind of love

could come from one

who thinks he knows better?

What kind of love

could come from one

who feels so much pride?

I found a way

to make myself believe—

but the only one you’ll save is you

What a funny

Savior mind tattoo

Lit by the fire,

reflecting all that I desire—

pretty mirror

that I confused for you

I still felt cold

but I pretended to be bold

I didn’t see my

martyr mind tattoo

Why would I choose

someone I knew

never was listening?

Why would I choose

someone I knew

spoke so much in vain?

I want to blame

the pain I feel on you—

that you fooled me,

but that’s not true

‘cause I knew your

Savior mind tattoo

Though the ink is holy

though the words are true

I can’t feel so lonely

caring for you

Glad I let you hold me

glad your hands withdrew

‘cause I gotta find

a more divine tattoo
