Thicker Skin - Devon Graves

Thicker skin, I’ve got to get me some thicker skin

I’ve been too long in the skin I’m in

It’s far too thin, it’s wearing out

I’m made of dandelion fluff

Blow me over with just one puff

But down inside, there is stronger stuff

If I dig enough

I’ll root it out

Cause I bruise too easy

And I heal too slow

And I wish I didn’t know half the things I know

But it’s time to face the demons

And stop laying in the street

It’s time to stand up on my own two feet

Stainless steel, I want a backbone of stainless steel

That holds, regardless of how I feel

It will not yield

It will not falter

Cause I bruise too easy

And I heal too slow

And I wish I didn’t know half the things I know

But it’s time to face the demons

And stop laying in the street

It’s time to stand up on my own two feet

Ouooh

I could drown here in a pool of my own pity

Submerged in loathing and regret

Or I could grit my teeth and come up swinging

And see if there’s some fight left in me yet

Cause I bruise too easy

And I heal too slow

And I wish I didn’t know half the things I know

But it’s time to face the demons

And stop laying in the street

It’s time to stand up on my own two feet

On my own two feet

On my own two feet

On my own two feet

On my own two feet

Oooooooh it’s time to stand up on my own two feet
