Shy Troy - Up in Smoke Lyrics

I'm not the kid that I used to be
I try to go back in a lucid dream
But I'm losing sleep, trying to remove the screams
That had echoed all through my teens
But I'm cool
As long as I've got this L in my hand and not on my forehead
And I know that I'm good
If I'm up in the sky and I'm not on the floor yet
In a corvette
Cruising the vast land of a thought cloud
Til I hit the curb then burst the bubble
And land in a trash can when I fall out
With a handful of debt
And shoes full of mud
This half cigarette is useful enough
Lit fumes and a cup, then I'm off on a tangent again
I'm off on a tangent again
Yeah

Cause I'll be up in smoke
You can find me in my zone; in my zen
Then maybe then we can joke and pretend that I'm cool
That I'm Cool

Let's pretend that I'm cool
Let's pretend that I'm cool

I've been too weak so I've fought nights
To stay true I'd feed on forced lies
I've lived like Medusa's head lice
Just a no-eye deer in headlights
I caught two elevens
At the time I was sorting through lemons
Attending to venom, a quarter through seven sins
Pretending I'm better, I'm better
Cause a friend in need is a burden
While support on Mary can be brief
At least it is certain
And I'll jump to seclusion
And you can jump to your conclusions
Let you draw your disconnections between
My hope and your losing

Cause I'll be up in smoke
You can find me in my zone; in my zen
And maybe then we can joke and pretend that I'm cool
That I'm Cool

Let's pretend that I'm cool (Ooh-ooh)
Let's pretend that I'm cool (Ooh-ooh)

Just pretend that I'm cool
Just pretend that I'm cool
Just pretend that I'm cool
Let's pretend that I'm cool
Just pretend that I'm cool
Just pretend that I'm cool
Just pretend that I'm cool

Let's pretend that I'm cool
Let's pretend that I'm cool (Ooh-ooh)

Cause I'll be up in smoke
You can find me in my zone; in my zen
Then maybe then we can joke and pretend that I'm cool
(Just pretend that I'm cool) (Just pretend that I'm cool)
That I'm Cool (Just pretend that I'm cool)

Let's pretend that I'm cool

I'll be up in smoke
You can find me in my zone; in my zen
Then maybe then we can joke and pretend that I'm cool
(Just pretend that I'm cool) (Just pretend that I'm cool)
(Just pretend that I'm cool)

Let's pretend that I'm cool
