Cool

Hold your breath while you're on the tightrope

Suspended over the gulch of what we're not saying

Balancing act, I know it's a toughie

But there's nothing we can do, we're interwoven

Your eyes like twin parallels that never bend to mine

I thought we were cool

I thought we were cool, man

I thought we were cool

But you lifted the ruse

And left me blindsided

Set fire to the fuse

Watch it go up

We'd perfected this delicate dance

Stood on the exact razor's edge to pull off this pretense

But it takes two to tango

And you haven't cast a glance my way all night

Svelte and stunning, sheathed in black, you queen of ice

Slickest when you lie

Was it stupid to think we could just carry on

As if a cavern hadn't opened beneath our feet

And swallowed up everything we held dear

Threw our lives into such disrepair

Divvied best friends into factions

How could peace come from inaction?

Calm and cocksure, I'm such a stupid prick

Fucked it beyond a fix

I thought we were cool

I thought we were cool, man

I thought we were cool

But you rewrote the rules

And left me blindsided

Set fire to the fuse

(Pow!)
