Zinnia - Requiem Lyrics

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
