Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Had a rope in my room, had a note on the desk Mama almost read it, yeah I folded that mess Scrolling through the names, but my thumb went numb How I got this far still a question mark, huh Bathroom mirror, eyes like a crime scene Thoughts in a circle, nothing in between Then the needle hit skin, heard the buzz like a scream Turned my pain to a line, turned that line to a theme [Chorus] Tattoo is therapy, write it where it hurt me Let the ink burn slow, so the past can’t bury me Survival of suicide, I’m breathing in the afterlife Every scar I underline Tattoo is therapy, therapy, therapy Survival of suicide, I’m living out the other side [Verse 2] Every dot, every shade, that’s a night I stayed When the world went gray, but my heart misbehaved Put my worst on my wrist where I see it each day So the ghost in my chest gotta look in my face Yeah, my cousin ain’t wake, got a date on my ribs So his name never fades like the breath that he missed People ask what it means, I just lift up my chin Say, “That’s the proof I was gone, that’s the proof I’m still in” (still in) [Chorus] Tattoo is therapy, write it where it hurt me Let the ink burn slow, so the past can’t bury me Survival of suicide, I’m breathing in the afterlife Every scar I underline Tattoo is therapy, therapy, therapy Survival of suicide, I’m living out the other side [Bridge] I was one bad night from a headline Now I’m one more line from a lifeline (lifeline) If I ever slip back in that dark mind I just trace that art, that’s my archive [Chorus] Tattoo is therapy, write it where it hurt me Let the ink burn slow, so the past can’t bury me Survival of suicide, I’m breathing in the afterlife Every scar I underline Tattoo is therapy, therapy, therapy Survival of suicide, I’m living out the other side (yeah)
Tags
rap, Dark melodic trap with heavy, distorted bass hits and sharp hi-hats, male vocals. Intense, close-mic verses that feel like a confession in a small room; hook explodes with layered, chant-style backing vocals. Sparse piano stabs and eerie pads between lines to let the words hang heavy, final chorus drops the drums for the first half then slams back in for a cathartic finish.
