Thick Skin (Should I Give In) - Brave Bird

Calm me down, I’m not messing around

I was on my way out, this place still belongs to me

We’re still young and it’s not hard to have fun

But the kids that remain are finding it hard to stay

But we’ll fit in and be the cool kids with thick skin

We’ll make it home once again, I’m putting my head to rest

I’m so dumb, I’m saying my song’s been sung

Should I give in to everything I’m worth?

Close your mouth, your eyes will swallow

Close your mouth, your eyes will swallow

So what on paper we lose our innocence

Try to forget that, try to forget that

You weren’t the one I could’ve waited for

I’m finding out now, I’m finding out now

You chose, you don’t care

You chose, you don’t care

You chose, you don’t care

You chose, you don’t care

Calm me down or write your last failure song

Watch me erase everyone, this failure’s a fantasy

Here’s one for my son who couldn’t love anyone

Yeah he’s so fucked up and numb, we’re losing control you see

I’m so sorry, I’m so fucking sorry

Should I give in?

Decisions still haunting me

We’ll stay young or we’ll stay fucked up and numb

I don’t feel better but I’m not getting worse

Close your mouth, your eyes will swallow

Close your mouth, your eyes will swallow

So what on paper we lose our innocence

Try to forget that, try to forget that

You weren’t the one I could’ve waited for

I’m finding out now, I’m finding out now

(Stop taking me down to your level

You’ve got me praying now, I’ll find a safer god

Stop taking me down to your level

You’ve got me praying now, I’ll find a safer god)
