808s and Tattoos Lyrics by Nappy Camper

West Side

2017

[Verse]
The sky's wearing velvet
We can't buy love, spent all day trying to sell it
Protection from the scars
We trip under the stars
We live out of our cars
You wear your anger like a helmet
This magic, have you felt it
You looked at me and I melted
You told me you felt blessed
I tried but I can't help it, it's helpless
Why am I so selfish
[Break]
If I hurt you I only did it for my status
Any self-esteem you had, key word you had it
Dressed in plaid on top of black
I want you badly, need you back
Like I might as well be walking in to oncoming traffic
[Chorus]
It's been a quick minute since I've had you
Now I heard you're fed up and you're packed too
It was past due
But you stay stamped on my brain like a tattoo
[Verse]
Keep this on the record, the vinyl is speaking finally
Let me hold your purse while you blindly follow society
Trying to say to you I hate everything that you try to be
I love the way you smile at me
It's tough to be so kind to me
But that all goes away when we kiss in the dark
Throw all my clothes away 'cause I'm going so stark
Now we're fighting a lot, I'm trying to light up a spark
But it's not 4th of July, no fireworks in the park
Bad analogy
This isn't going how I planned it
I don't understand this, we used to be so candid
I wish I had a canon pic of all the little things we did
For every time I'm feeling so alone and stranded
[Chorus]
