Austin Carr - Cool Kid Lyrics

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
