Leave My Mark

[Verse 1]
First shop on the corner
Neon "OPEN" in the glass
Rent due Monday morning
I still ink like it’s my last
Stencil sheets on the counter
Coffee rings and colored caps
Mama says I’m out my mind
Daddy shakes his head and laughs
[Chorus]
They say I’m crazy to leave my mark
On strangers’ skin and my own heart
“Girl
That’s forever” like it’s something dark
But I was born with a restless spark
Give me your stories
Your jagged scars
I’ll turn them all into tiny stars
Call it reckless
Call it art
Yeah
I was made
To leave my mark (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Little sister on the sofa
Watching lines become a rose
“Will it hurt?” she whispers
“Just a pinch” and there it goes
Uncle wants a crooked anchor
Says he’s tired of drifting seas
Gran walks in for “faith & thunder”
Right across her fragile sleeve
[Chorus]
They say I’m crazy to leave my mark
On Sunday skin and sinner hearts
“Girl
That’s forever” like it’s something dark
But I just smile
Flip on the spark
Bring me your losses
Your faded charms
I’ll sketch a shield for shaking arms
Call it foolish
Call it art
Yeah
I was made
To leave my mark
[Bridge]
Ink on my fingers
Echoes of home in my head
“You’ll regret it when you’re older”
But regret is staying safe instead
So line by line I’m learning
How to frame a broken past
If loving this is madness
Then I hope the fever lasts (hey!)
[Chorus]
They say I’m crazy to leave my mark
On strangers’ skin and my own heart
“Girl
That’s forever” like it’s something dark
But I’ve been glowing in the dark
Bring me your secrets
Your battle cries
I’ll write them bold where the world can’t lie
Call it reckless
Call it art
Yeah
I was made
To leave my mark
Yeah
I was made
To leave my mark

Verses sit in a tight pocket with palm-muted riffs and subtle picked arpeggios; choruses explode with wide power chords, stacked female harmonies, and big room reverb on the snare. Middle-8 strips back to voice, toms, and a single guitar line before a final, full-throttle chorus. Female vocals, energetic and raspy on the edges., female vocals, pop rock
