Thick Skin

Most people with thick skin really just have a lot of scar tissue.

It's funny how I cried out all my tears

Though I thought the flood was never ending at the time.

I chased away my fears

With cigarettes and bottles of wine.

Words that used to cut deep

Now don't effect me so

Walking around like I'm asleep

because somewhere along the way I lost my soul.

You can't break through my flesh

In one ear, then eaten by my brain

Cut the skin as a test

But the results will always be the same.

Sometimes things get in

But they don't get very far

I have thick skin

Because it's covered in scars.

This is very true. The more battered we are the less we feel the battering.
