[Verse] Eyes like lasers cutting through the mist You think you’re slick with that hit-or-miss Words like knives you twist and poke But my thick skin is no damn joke [Verse 2] Got a backpack full of broken dreams Your backhand compliments are mean You rip it up with a smile so sly But baby I'll keep reaching high [Chorus] Gratuitous poking won't break me down I'm the toughest cat in this crazy town You can try to rattle me Shake and fake But I’m bouncing back for heaven’s sake [Verse 3] Behind my back you set your fire Won’t play your game won’t climb your wire You twist the plot just to see me burn Honey patience is what you’ll learn [Bridge] In a sea of whispers and shallow grins You’re the ghost that slides and spins But I’m still walking head held up Won’t let your thorns fill my cup [Chorus] Gratuitous poking won't break me down I'm the toughest cat in this crazy town You can try to rattle me Shake and fake But I’m bouncing back for heaven’s sake
