My first (and hopefully not last) tattoo. Designed by me, with the artist’s addition of a white “drop shadow” to keep it crisp.
Music’s always been a big part of my life; I knew I wanted something textual or lyrical. I started with “Words Fail”, the title of one of my fave songs by a friend’s band and added “Music speaks” to balance it out. Found out later it was also a quote by Hans Christian Andersen.
You can see it in progress too.

Now I will tell you what I’ve done for you -
50 thousand tears I’ve cried.
Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you -
And you still won’t hear me.
(going under)
Don’t want your hand this time - I’ll save myself.
Maybe I’ll wake up for once (wake up for once)
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I’d reached the bottom
I’m dying again
I’m going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I’m falling forever (falling forever)
I’ve got to break through
I’m going under
Blurring and stirring - the truth and the lies.
(So I don’t know what’s real) So I don’t know what’s real and what’s not (and what’s not)
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can’t trust myself anymore
I’m dying again
I’m going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I’m falling forever (falling forever)
I’ve got to break through
I’m…
So go on and scream
Scream at me I’m so far away (so far away)
I won’t be broken again (again)
I’ve got to breathe - I can’t keep going under
I’m dying again
I’m going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I’m falling forever (falling forever)
I’ve got to break through
I’m going under (going under)
I’m going under (drowning in you)
I’m going under.
