Con Cool

[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] Desk lamp bleeds over stacked-up files Coffee rings map every tired mile Meetings drag through the graying haze I’m counting down till I can escape [Chorus] I’m so much cooler when I’m at the con Worries melt like a song long gone Costumes blaze under neon sparks Every second’s a brand-new mark [Verse 2] Spreadsheets stack like a concrete wall Deadlines howl like a relentless squall My shoes drag down the concrete track I’m daydreaming of the con’s warm crack [Chorus] I’m so much cooler when I’m at the con Troubles fade like a distant yawn Booths hum with stories yet to tell Every moment’s a perfect spell [Bridge] I hang the suit and tie back in the hall Digging up joy I thought I’d lost in the sprawl Laughing loud with the friends I’ve found Letting all the stress unbound [Chorus] I’m so much cooler when I’m at the con Fears dissolve like a melted bomb Cosplay dreams finally breathe their last Every breath’s a perfect cast [Outro] Con magic hums deep in my soul Mending every dull day whole
