Memories in Ink

The following are the majority of Prisoner 211212's tattoos, as cataloged by the Hedge Wardens of Pen #0300.
Marceline, it's just you and me in the wreckage of the world
That must be so confusing for a little girl
And I know you're going to need me here with you
But I'm losing myself and I'm afraid you're going to lose me too
This crown keeps us alive
But it's making me crazy
And I need to save you
But who's going to save me?
Please forgive me for whatever I do
When I don't remember you
Marceline, I can feel myself slipping away
I can't remember what it made me say
But I remember that I saw you frown
I swear it wasn't me, it was the crown
Your name is Nicolas Petrikov
You recorded this so people would know your story.
Betty, my princess, looked at me with such contempt.
What had I said? What had I done when I donned this crown?
All I know is we never saw Betty again.
I want people to know that if I do things that hurt anyone, please, please forgive me.
Marceline, just watch over me until I can find my way out of this labyrinth in my brain and regain my sanity! And then maybe Betty, my princess, will love me again!
I know my mind is changing, but I'm already gone too far to know what to do.
I know you are out there somewhere. I just haven't figured out how to get to you. But believe me, I will. I will.
What do you think, Betty? Can we pull back the veil of static and reach in to the source of all being?
Behind this curtain of patterns, this random pattern generator. So clever. Right here inside everyone of us, watching all that we do from a one-sided mirror."
