Tattoos (And What They Really Feel Like)

So how much is this gonna run me? you know? How much are tattoos usually? It doesn't so much hurt that you can feel something It varies from person to person, don't fear it You paid for this and you wanted to be cool You wanted a thing that'll last forever When they trace around it, it doesn't really hurt This explains why the outline's first The pain only begins when they start shading in When they talked thin line but I guess they didn't see me Paramount stress, the artist played my genre I don't think i'll let him work on me again Am I suppose to be bleeding this much? Is it common for a youth alcoholic to have thin blood? But I gotta thick skin and i've had a couple flesh wounds You aren't the first and you won't be the last I read all the facts and the stacks before this Wait?....what did you ask? I'm I talking about something else? Well I usually am, you just don't know me that well Were on a strictly customer to employee basis at this point If I continue to get work from you Maybe i'll invite you into my personal life Where you'll hear more confusions over pints of beer I'll look into having unemotional sex With an average looking stranger Wouldn't you like to do that? Don't go and ask how I got my heart stolen It tainted love like Gloria Jones and Mark Bolan: It never woulda worked I keep my hammers on the ones she keeps his lock with a smirk Talked with a jerk and he said I was awkward at shows Cause I pulled my shirt down and I tapped with my toes See, I rap within prose but I don't really do it for my friends Words were a means to an end The other day I tried to be the bigger man I hear she's seeing someone now I guess I just figured out she had cold feet And I kick sore ones so lets put them together And help each other walk I comment on relationships, mostly the poor ones She doesn't call me, she doesn't really wanna talk I empty out glasses , I use to make passes But I think she only likes guys with glasses...".what was that"? Do I wanna hear a different song? well I guess I mean, I'm okay with this Quannum shit They have a really good discography, they're a great label Me, im just a really sensitive dude, you know? You shouldn't phone me for being too loose with my emotions You probably hear this sort of thing all the time right? You're a cheaper shrink and you put something on me I love the ones that hurt me like the Venus in Furs author Hit me and i'll take the offer, i'll keep it close I reap the pros with the cons that I know They keep a heavy heart under the lines that they tow I'm thinking about another piece greed had a friend that once Gave me some shots, so I can give him a shot I'm looking for something, you know?... really says something! Like i'd never date you or maybe the hiero logo Before that tour, I wish you didn't decide to go home I wish you'd wear me out like vinyl promos....Stephanie! I tried hard, I wish she wouldn't get the best of me I think she left me with the bill like Belamy, your telling me I hear a lot of things about me But stick to what I said to you in private My roommate asked why you'd stopped coming by You were clear when you told Eric "Beatsteaks is Hot!" So it actually does hurt in the end But I'm done writing songs about her You know what I mean? Why would you obsess over a girl who doesn't like you? I mean, some people make careers over stuff like that ...but not me , I'm a Pisces like Andre Nickatina
