Thick Skin

It sounds like an upgrade of the soul after a catastrophe - with new firmware called ‘nothing personal’. Where there used to be chaos of feelings, now there is armour moulded from sarcasm, pain and a good beat. No resentment, no hysterics - just cool confidence and perfect posture on the ruins of the past.

This is not a song about the heart, it is a hymn to those who survived the ‘toxic.’ When instead of ‘why?’ the voice in your head says, ‘thank you, now I am invulnerable.’ Does it hurt? Yes. But it's not scary anymore. And somewhere between the lines you can hear a crunch - it's not glass, but old illusions cracking under your heel.
