Thick Skin - Motion Device

They fall, like petals on a rose in the rain

We bloom, in the shadows, dust and haze

We grow thorns to keep us safe

In a world that loves mistakes

Unforgiving words, so cruel

But we use those words.

.. .. .

for fuel

Monsters, they crawl on the walls

A serpent’s tongue, the sharpest claws

Their faces change in the blink of an eye

They feed each other and multiply

Like you, want you, need you

It’s an addiction they adore

Love you, hate you, judge you

Now they’re hungry for more

My body’s shielded from your bite

Thick skin

A sharp eye keeps you in my sight

Hey boy, guess what I just grew?

Thick skin

My time won’t be spent on you

Trolls, they criticize

Make up lies, to get a rise

They only want to drive you insane

They’ll do it again and again and again

Lure you, catch you, eat you

They pray you’ll take the bait

Stick you, stone you, hurt you

They just sit and wait
