[Verse 1] Room 209, perfume on the pillow Mirror cracked like my last goodbye Check-in under “Mary,” just for the drama Left my real name burning in a stranger’s eye [Pre-Chorus] Every bed’s a confession, every night’s a sin I don’t come here for love—I come to shed my skin [Chorus] Motel ink, bleeding through the seams Tattooed truth where no one dreams He said I looked like someone lost I said I looked like someone free Lipstick psalms on motel walls Nailed my heart up just to watch it crawl Yeah I don’t need a pen, I just need a scar To write who I am and remember how far [Verse 2] Bible in the drawer, but I’m the prayer Smoke curling like hands in my hair Neon hums like a choir in heat And I’m dancing barefoot on a shattered beat [Pre-Chorus] Every shadow’s a past I kissed and ran Every lie I loved made me who I am [Chorus] Motel ink, bleeding through the seams Tattooed truth where no one dreams He said I looked like someone lost I said I looked like someone free Mascara verses, cigarette hymns I bury my past with a bottle and grin I don’t carry shame—I leave it in bed With the version of me that used to beg [Bridge] (slower, smoky, intimate) I left my name carved in the headboard I left his scent in the air I left that girl crying in the bathtub And I left like I wasn’t even there [Final Chorus – explode it, baby] Motel ink, bleeding through the seams Truth in blood and ripped-up jeans He said I looked like someone lost I said I looked like gasoline Every song I wrote, I wrote in this room Every scar I earned, every fuckin’ wound This ain’t heartbreak—this is my art Burned in neon and torn apart [Outro – whispered, venomous] Check-out’s at noon. I’ll be gone by dawn. But you’ll still smell me in the sheets. And hear me in the walls.
