[Intro - 16 bars instrumental, shimmering arpeggios, Juno-106 pad, warm floating sub-bass, fast chipmunk soul sample loop low volume] [Verse - soft ethereal with heavy reverb, sexy deep smooth warm female voice calm storytelling clean dry] Needle kissing on my skin, Buzzing like a prayer running deep within, Black line down my spine, Every mark frozen in time, [Build - arpeggio rising, granular glitch, Juno pad distant wavy, 808 slides starting] My back tells stories words can't say, Arms like maps that won't fade away, [Chorus - main vocal long sustained, crystal clear hook, big Juno chords high octave, heavy 808 slides + hard fast knocking trap drums] Got ink on my skin, got stories in my blood, Every needle touch was pain, was love, It's addictive how the pain turns into art, You see a tattoo, I see all my heart, [Post-Chorus - distant ethereal ad-lib echo with lush heavy reverb and stereo delay] Ink on my skin... skin... Stories in my blood... [Instrumental Break - 16 bars, Juno pad high octave + crystal hook + slow evolving synth pad + chipmunk chop low + 808] [Chorus 2 - layered, ethereal lead + harmony, female melodic] People say why do you need more, They don't feel what I feel when that needle draws, Shoulders down to my feet, Every line a heartbeat underneath, [Breakdown - only floating sub-bass + whisper ad-lib + faint Juno pad + chipmunk chop low volume texture] Ink... on my skin... Every line... a memory... Still more to come... [Final Chorus - BIG with atmospheric echoing ad-libs, full groove, highest vocal, heavy 808 slides + knocking trap drums + Juno + slow pad] Got ink on my skin, got stories in my blood, Every needle touch was pain, was love, Ribs and back and arms full of sin and grace, Every piece a memory I can't erase, Got ink on my skin, forever mine, Written in the only language that is mine, [Outro - fading instrumental + Juno pad fading, whisper, chipmunk loop fading] Ink on my skin... skin... Forever mine...
