Lyrics[]
When this is over When we leave this all behind us Deep in the moonless night When the rescue team finds us It's gonna get so dark for you I'm gonna leave a mark on you I'm gonna leave a mark on you Can't trust anybody Even the tough ones crack Train up a swordsman To stab you in the back I know this much is true I'm gonna leave a mark on you No man knows the hour or the day But the mark is gonna be visible From several blocks away Maybe you'll make it To the far side of the hill Maybe you will see me coming But I don't think you will Make peace with your family You walk softly on this earth I'm gonna leave a mark on you I'm gonna leave a mark on you I'm gonna leave a mark on you I'm gonna leave a mark on you
Comments by John Darnielle About this Song[]
- “‘Mark on You’ is a specific story about somebody who's going after someone. Either this or 'Training Montage' was probably the first song I wrote for this, and I was like, 'Oh man, this feels like a vein.' Revenge is something you can ardently want and you never have to be satisfied by what you get because you're not going to get it.” via https://music.apple.com/us/album/bleed-out/1622211546
- "Friends, this is a song about how someday, [we] might see each other out there in the great white world, and after we have parted ways, you’ll find ... that there is a mark on you. It’s called ... Mark On You." – 2022-09-17 - Tulips - Fort Worth, TX
