Twenty-Three

Then you took my hand, said "Are you alright now?" I can't see what's right in front of me Is it in my head? Am I breathing? I can't feel my face, can't feel my feet I can feel your breath with your arm around me You said "My best friend, he died at 23 Do you understand? Take it easy You'll be fine talking in your sleep" Tattoos will cover up Your actions still say so Make moves and cover up My body still says no Man, I'm a witness Going home, stumbling in the street Seeing things, I can't remember I can't feel my face, can't feel my feet What the fuck was in that shit you gave me Familiar places and strangers faces changing In the back room of the bar Tattoos will cover up Your actions still say so Tattoos will cover up Your actions still say so Your actions say Make moves and cover up My body still says no Take care Tattooed and covered up I can't see what's right in front of me
