Lyrics

Cough Up Cherries

Me along some stupid beach
Diet nirvana
Always at my very best
Always at my very best
Me in isolation
Adolescent fixtures
Touch me with dirty fingers
Why did you leave again?

Right now, right now
Right now, right now

In violence so shallow
In words so hollow
I cough up cherries
Cough up
Violence so shallow
In words so hollow
I cough up cherries
Cough up cherries

Him in incubation
Growing a set of wings
Waiting to take a picture
Will you just take a picture?

Him in a pretty box
Swimming in caustic thoughts
Reach out with anxious fingers
He runs away again

Right now, right now
Right now, right now

In violence so shallow
In words so hollow
I cough up cherries
Cough up
Violence so shallow
In words so hollow
I cough up cherries
Cough up cherries

Us in our empty rooms
All is so full of doom
A lonely virus culture
Puppets and dirty vultures
Us and our stupid brains
Our dramas, anxious pains
Waiting for affectation
Scream out for your attention

Right now, right now
Right now, right now

Cough up cherries
Cough up cherries
Violence so shallow
In words so hollow
I cough up cherries
Co-co-co-co-cough up che-che-che-che-cherries
