[Intro]
Glass on the counter
Bills on the table
Phone face down
Name in the cradle
[Verse 1]
Clock in, clock out
Same dust, same doubt
Boss talk big
I just tune him out
Steel toes, sore back
Heart got side‑tracked
You left, I cracked
Now I drink to stay intact
Shot after shot
Burn in my chest
Say it’s the last
Lie with my breath
Ink in my veins
Buzz of the pen
Carved our date
Over my skin
[Chorus]
Got these tattoos on my bones, on my bones (yeah)
Every line another loss carved in stone
I’ve been drinking just to make it through the pain
I’ve been working like I’m digging my own grave
All this heartbreak in my veins, in my veins
Pour it up, watch it drip, feel it stain
I keep writing all your ghost under my skin
Pray the bottle and the work can hold it in (hold it in)
[Verse 2]
Paycheck vanish
Rent come fast
Twenty more years
Same damn mask
Lunch in the breakroom
Eyes on the floor
Scroll your page
You look restored
I look older
You look free
I got names
You got peace
Knuckles faded
Neckline script
“Live or die”
Half‑finished ink
[Chorus]
Got these tattoos on my bones, on my bones (on my bones)
Every line another loss carved in stone
I’ve been drinking just to make it through the pain
I’ve been working like I’m digging my own grave
All this heartbreak in my veins, in my veins
Pour it up, watch it drip, feel it stain
I keep writing all your ghost under my skin
Pray the bottle and the work can hold it in
[Bridge]
Yeah, I clock in bleeding
Clock out numb
Toast to the ceiling
Tongue gone dumb
If the dirt come early
Let it read
“He worked, he hurt
He wore his grief”
[Chorus]
Got these tattoos on my bones, on my bones (hey)
Every line another loss carved in stone
I’ve been drinking just to make it through the pain
I’ve been working like I’m digging my own grave
All this heartbreak in my veins, in my veins
Pour it up, watch it drip, feel it stain
I keep writing all your ghost under my skin
Till the day they lay me down, I’m wearing this sin
