This was written as a song in response to a song called "Blue Tattoo" and it is written from the perspective of the tattoo

In Her Defense (The tattoo replies)

Feeling the feeling you feel inside
Your heart is wide open and it’s where you hide
Impressions of me and what I could do
But the finger you’re pointing is pointing at you

The image you saw
When I bled into you
Was blurred by the same smoke
That made your red eyes too

Confined in glass
Waiting to be delivered
Pressure relieved & I never considered
Where I was going? How’d I be received?
The decision wasn’t mine. ..It wasn’t up to me!

Scripted in blue a perfect love lesson
The canvas wears the paint like a true confession
Fallen on deaf ears…Now a tortured destiny
A mirrored image in the mirror
Erased from memory

Wide eyes from a stolen glance
Wide eyes from a stolen glance
Wide eyes from a stolen glance
Is the only pleasure I give

Feeling the feelings you feel inside
Your heart is wide open and it’s where you hide
Impressions of me… What could I do?
Now you’re lost in your pages and I’m still here – faded and blue.
