Thick-Skinned Lyrics

We're all just sharks

Swimming around for the easiest prey

Some catch more than others

Who can do nothing more than hope and pray

You say you're sad for me but

I've never been happier with myself

So don't insult me because

The heartache's been thrown off my shelf

I'm thick skinned

You're too fixed

On getting your weekly meat feast

I've gone this long

You're not as strong

As long as you don't release the beast

And I hope I mean nothing to you

'Cos my heart's too cold to turn dark blue

And you don't need me for your fix

So I'll leave you when the clock strikes six

I write fast when I'm sad

And I write slow when I'm upset

I promise I'm not mad

I'm good, I'm fine and besides you wouldn't fret

Your mouth moves faster than your words

As if you're running from the herd

Of hurtful truths that you have told

And temptation that's always sold

I'm thick skinned

You're too fixed

On getting your weekly meat feast

I've gone this long

You're not as strong

As long as you don't release the beast

And I hope I mean nothing to you

'Cos my heart's too cold to turn dark blue

And you don't need me for your fix

So I'll leave you when the clock strikes six

You broke my heart

I turned it into art

And now it's one minute to six

You're not an easy prey

I got stung by the ray

And now I'll never get another fix

And I hope I mean nothing to you

'Cos my heart's too cold to turn dark blue

And you don't need me for your fix

So I'll leave you to rot in your own pit
