Thin Skin 03:43
I’m sick of wondering what others think I’ll probably sink in the thought of another drink To cover up the anxieties that I feel When I step outside my front door and I’m constantly Convincing my own mind into believing I’m not fine And catastrophize my whole life Heart rate is rapidly on the rise I’m falling deep inside Of myself and I’m self-aware that I’m causing all this panic by my own design And I know I’m fine, but it’s no use I’m scared as hell and it’s justified Is it abuse if I’m abusing myself? Is there use in trying to discuss living in this hell? Or is it paradise? No, no fucking paradise Ignorance is never bliss, so don’t romanticize Heart rate is rapidly on the rise I’m falling deep inside Of myself and I’m self-aware that I’m causing all this panic by my own design And I know I’m fine, but it’s no use I’m scared as hell and it’s justified There’s something to be said for those who learn to overcome And build the strength to face the world, instead complacently living numb (I know that I can make it through this, there’s no use in giving in And if there were this would be the end)

There's a junky on the exit ramp begging for some change There’s a mother with her child lying cold under the train There's a million people starving and I don't know a single name I get into my SUV and think about my elbow feeling strange Desensitivity is flourishing around me Positivity is positively running down the drain I know to help my fellow man and know my right from wrong So explain to me how I can do nothing at I've seen so many horror movies, Jason's burnt into my brain We've seen so many shootings on the big screen it's insane That we barely bat an eye when kids are mowed down in our backyards Can we not differentiate real death from house of cards? Desensitivity is flourishing around me Positivity is positively running down the drain I know to help my fellow man and know my right from wrong So explain to me how I can do nothing at all

Straight shot, tell me how you feel It seems nothing’s ever good enough, embracing hatred you conceal Something’s going wrong this year Moving fast isn’t normal for me, but something that I fear You're losing your temper Oh no, I'm losing the war And if I settle down and stop the fighting I may as well be in the basement hiding I admit I'm afraid of losing everything And denying All the things that separate us I'm mostly terrified of Losing myself I believed in the heaven that you paint And If I promise to concede will you put that rolling pin away Blood spots, oh you claim they never stain But all these things I’m stuck with seem like they’re here to stay You're losing your temper Oh no, I'm losing the war And if I settle down and stop the fighting I may as well be in the basement hiding I admit I'm afraid of losing everything And denying

Obey 03:21
We share in a commonality We are all afraid to open our mouths based on what others think And I’m not trying, but we keep censoring ourselves So we won’t be ridiculed for our beliefs Far be it from me to mistreat another godless monster I am what I see I’ve got no hope to offer Blessed who is he? What I need? Another false salvation A misrepresentation, I won’t speak, I won’t speak Don’t breathe, don’t speak Just follow in fear Stand in line and enter the decline of your convictions Obey, obey Just breathe and replicate We’ll learn from your mistakes, And live without restrictions Don’t be so masochistic, we wanna be a statistic Although we’re narcissistic, we will never obey Don’t see, just be, Take a number and follow in fear Stand in line and enter the decline of your convictions Obey, obey Just hear and regurgitate We’ll learn from your mistakes, and live without restrictions Far be it from me to mistreat another godless monster I am what I see I’ve got no hope to offer Blessed who is he? What I need? Another false salvation A misrepresentation, I won’t speak, I won’t speak

Can you hear that sound? It's Fat Mike rolling in his fucking grave Oh wait, he's still alive, but he was right "When did punk rock become so safe?" I don't understand the people standing next to me Frail and scared of injustices that are ruining our communities Back to their parent’s basement Smoke some weed and talk about conspiracies What world am I living in? It seems like everyone's become what we despise Instead of iron chins we’ve all got iron shields Is this the end? Part of me hopes this is the end Need a safe place? Then put down your phone Learn to deal with those around you who are thinking on their own You can drink the punch just leave the rest of us alone Disagree it doesn’t matter, you can get down from your throne What's the point about listening? Shut your mouth! Maybe you’ll learn something What world am I living in? It seems like everyone's become what we despise Instead of iron chins we’ve all got iron shields Is this the end? Part of me hopes this is the end

about

'Thin Skin' is the Linden Method's follow up to 2016's 'Good Enough', and deals mostly with the way that everyone in our society seems to be too afraid to stand up for anything because they're too afraid of receiving any sort of negative criticism. The album discusses this in a variety of ways through 16 blistering minutes of loud, fast, energetic music that the band likes to describe as Skate Punk Revival. 'Thin Skin' is the most cohesive and conceptual album the band has released to date and features an all new revamped and matured Linden Method who are desperately clawing at anything they can reach to try and destroy it. If you're ready to crank up the volume and wake up the neighbors, this record is for you.
