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
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
I do what I feel, and I'm feelin' so good
I might trip and fall, but I'll be fine
When I look back, I'll remember those words
I won't let you waste my time
