Lyrics
Thick is The Skin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Eightball hanging overhead
Flushed out like Frankenstein
One more for the living dead
That's not me this time
Knowck down I've been down before
Yet still we bare the load
If I Would want it anymore
I just might explode
All your heroes have died and left you to rise from the ashes and live for today
Chorus:
Can you take it all
When we're standing tall
We don't need a wall built around us
Jump into the flame
One and all the same
We won't feel the pain
Thick is the skin
Thick is the skin, yeah
Outside still looking in
I'll keep what I've made mine
Timebomb strapped to my chin
Step down or fall in line
(repeat chorus)
