[Verse 1]
Scars tell stories
Some folks can’t hold that
Every tatt got history
Etched in the flesh trap
Numbers mean different
When the night talks back
One glance, one symbol
Then the whole room snaps
Red eyes on me
Like they seen too much
Cold grin, hard stare
Yeah, I been through touch
Evil in my veins
But I keep it tucked
Never say the whole truth
Just enough to cut
[Pre-Chorus]
Read me wrong, you get it twisted
Code on skin, yeah, it’s encrypted
You see the mark, then you know the feeling
One word said, and the whole thing shifts
[Chorus]
One-eight-seven
One-eight-seven
Don’t ask questions
One-eight-seven (one-eight-seven)
Red eyes, bad omen
Red eyes, bad omen
Keep that distance
Red eyes, bad omen
[Verse 2]
Ink on my arm
Like a locked-up page
Every line got weight
Every line got rage
Some name crossed out
Some date won’t fade
Some nights leave a stain
That the sun can’t change
Hear that code when I step in
No joke, no guest list
Face like a warning
Hands stay rested
I don’t need to preach it
You can feel the message
When the past talks loud
You respect that pressure
[Pre-Chorus]
Read me wrong, you get it twisted
Code on skin, yeah, it’s encrypted
You see the mark, then you know the feeling
One word said, and the whole thing shifts
[Chorus]
One-eight-seven
One-eight-seven
Don’t ask questions
One-eight-seven (one-eight-seven)
Red eyes, bad omen
Red eyes, bad omen
Keep that distance
Red eyes, bad omen
[Bridge]
Some stories stay buried
Some don’t get told
Some carry the ash
While the rest act cold
I wear what I am
On my sleeve, on my soul
If you can’t take the truth
Then don’t get close
[Final Chorus]
One-eight-seven
One-eight-seven
Don’t ask questions
One-eight-seven (one-eight-seven)
Red eyes, bad omen
Red eyes, bad omen
Keep that distance
Red eyes, bad omen
