[Verse 1]
I carry a letter on me
The words burn on the paper
The paper is my-my skin
The words, pictures, colorful and so loud
[Pre-Chorus]
Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Show me yours, I'll show myself yours
Show me yours, I'll show you mine
[Chorus]
When the blood kisses the ink
When the pain embraces the flesh
I show my skin
Pictures that are so familiar
From the needle a blue flood
In the pores, the blood is boiling
[Verse 2]
Those who have to be beautiful also want to suffer
And even death can't do us part
All the pictures on my skin
My children so, so familiar
[Pre-Chorus]
Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Show me yours, I'll show you mine
[Chorus]
When the blood kisses the ink
When the pain embraces the flesh
I show my skin
Pictures that are so familiar
From the needle a blue flood
In the pores, the blood is boiling
[Bridge]
I'll sting myself with your name
Then you're here forever
But when you divide us
I'll search someone who's called the same
[Chorus]
When the blood kisses the ink
When the pain embraces the flesh
I show my skin
Pictures that are so familiar
From the needle a blue flood
In the pores, the blood is boiling
