歌詞

Ink don’t lie

Skin remembers

I grew up learning how to bleed quiet

Knuckles split on alley truth

One hand shaking, one hand steady

Both of them belonged to you

Streetlight hums like a warning sign

Every step says “choose a side”

But I learned young in the dirt and smoke

You don’t live clean, you just survive

They said cut one loose

Leave the other tame

But a tiger chained

Is a tiger dead

Twin tiger tattoo on my skin

Every scar knows where I’ve been

No god carved this into me

I chose the pain that won’t leave

Twin tiger tattoo, burned in truth

Two hearts biting through one youth

If I fall, I fall marked and loud

I die as what I carved out

One wants blood, one wants control

Both still breathing in my chest

I don’t pray, I don’t bargain

I don’t ask which one’s best

Mirror cracked but it tells it straight

Both those eyes are mine to face

I don’t wash the stains away

I wear the nights I couldn’t erase

You call it sin

I call it proof

I’m still here

With both my teeth

Twin tiger tattoo on my skin

Every scar knows where I’ve been

No crown, no cross, no alibi

Just ink that learned how not to die

Twin tiger tattoo, bite and bone

I never ran, I never moaned

If the end comes crashing through

It finds me carved and standing true

Needle hum in my head tonight

Buzzing like an engine stuck on red

Pain ain’t holy, pain ain’t clean

But it taught me how to stand unled

Twin tiger tattoo on my skin

Not a prayer, not forgiven

You see ink, I see proof

Of every night I lived this truth

Twin tiger tattoo — no release

I walk with both, I rest in none

Two beasts breathing under my ribs

Still running when the others’re done

Not chosen by fate

Chosen by me
