So you think you're pretty cool
The exception to the rule
As the keeper of the fuel
You should've known
It wouldn't last you

And you're hardly getting wise
To the problems you surmise
As the lightning leaves your eyes
You should've known
It wouldn't last you

And the hours fly
As the demons play
And you're paralyzed

When did it begin?
When you started to give in
To the prickle of the pin
You should've known
It wouldn't last you

And you think you know the score
As you shut another door
You search around for more
You should've known
It wouldn't last you
