Ten years a requiem Can I let it go now? And all the things lost Can I let them go now? Can I let them go now? Can I let them go? I held your suffering I didn't want it I got a tough skin I didn't want it I didn't want it I didn't want it The salt is thickest at the bottom of the sea I know it - see my tongue I have licked it I followed you down to the bottom of the sea I grew gills, my blood thickened I gotta tough skin I gotta tough skin Ten years a reckoning Are we in the clear now? And every word spent Are we in the clear now? Are we in the clear now? Are we in the clear? I gotta tough skin I gotta tough skin From the moment that I heard Like a blueprint in my blood It was comin' like Biblical flood I know it's not the way we wanted it to be But still the waters rose in that imminent sea I gotta tough skin I gotta tough skin
