Cool Kid

I'm getting old to be this feckless Tossing rocks and toeing lines Lord, forgive me of my sins I've been earnest here again Better cover up my veins until it's time And I'll try to be your cool kid And wear that skin around Pretend I like their bells and whistles when I never hear a sound I could decorate the background Another pretty smile Taking shots with every bully by your side The cool kid kind I've got a lingering suspicion They can smell that I'm a liar I'm too soft and I'm too weak I can't think the things they think But I'll practice every day to change my mind 'Cause I'd kill to be your cool kid And wear that skin around Pretend I like their bells and whistles when I never hear a sound I could decorate the background Another pretty smile Taking shots with every bully by your side The cool kid kind The cool kid kind And I'll try to be your cool kid Hold my baggage like a cool kid And make you think that I'm a cool kid 'Til I'm too old and I'm too tired of all the trying The cool kid kind
