Cough It Up

Every day's a blessing That's the fucking lesson You would rather question Than listen to confession Spit it out cough it up It's never tough enough You wanted it rough Not used to being rebuffed Nah Every time you came to town I made reasons to be around The cancer and the cure you found Still I always felt left down No time for sorry for yourself The rising fear you try to quell The gulf is wide to the other side of the well Where you could always soak and dwell An apocalypse couldn't stop this pain In the copse of trees, your lips stained The surprise you feigned The moonlight waned Coughing up blood it's bitter like tea It's a strange sight to see When you think you're so healthy It hasn't got the best of me Every day's a blessing That's the fucking lesson You would rather question Than listen to confession Spit it out cough it up It's never tough enough You wanted it rough Not used to being rebuffed Nah
