Tattoos Fade

This song has a cool, driving beat. I use all downstrokes on it to get the strident feeling.

here are rumors going around,
you can feel history coming about,
you re never sure just where it s going to stay.
You suffer through lingering doubt,
you wish someone would spell it out
but things don t work that way.
There s so much going on faces in the crowd
belong to a team on which you d love to play.
You re hoping for some permanence
but there really is no place for this.
Your tattoos, they re gonna fade
Our youth like wax drips down,
in puddles around our legs
it hardens and catches us to the quick.
You re putting a lot of importance in
something you re just playing a part in,
you should take what action you can get.
What you re sure you re carving in stone
on your flesh
you d do better living more and commemorating less. There s much i don t want to remember,
there s not a thing I d wish last forever.
You re tattoos are gonna fade.
It s not as important to persevere as to doubt. When you re so angry nothing matters,
you be brave cause everything counts and
I d never be so unsubtle
as to write this on my sleeve
unless I was sure I could change it
when I was ready to leave.
There s much I don t want to remember,
there s not a thing I would wish last forever --
or let me put this another way:
I know you re hoping for some permanence
but there really is no truth to this.
Your tattoos, they re gonna fade.
