"Permanent" lyrics

Pierced through the surface of my soul
These scars feel like stories that we never wanted told
And how do I forget when all I see
Are these images of you creating war inside of me

The mark you left runs deep
So how can I not bleed

Your name feels like needles in my skin
The stain underneath is permanent
I can't wipe away these memories that never should have been
Now your name is just needles in my skin

Living art that you create
Written by the hands of fate
Reminding me of our mistakes
That we could not anticipate

Another day in the life
(The mark you left runs deep)
To get you out of my sight
(So how can I not bleed)

Your name feels like needles in my skin
The stain underneath is permanent
I can't wipe away these memories that never should have been
And now name is just needles in my skin

And if I can't break through to you
Than you were never mine to lose
And if I can't break through to you
Than go ahead live with the life you choose

We knew this house we built was never gonna hold
But it's hard to walk away when you have to learn to do it on your own

Your name feels like needles in my skin
The stain underneath is permanent

Your name feels like needles in my skin
The stain underneath is permanent
I can't wipe away these memories that never should have been
And now you're just needles in my skin

Your name feels like needles in my skin
The stain underneath is permanent
(It's all that I can see)
I can't wipe away these memories that never should have been
(How do I escape)
Now your name is just needles in my skin
(Your name, your face, your stain)
