Coughing Colors
Lyricist:Kianna Marie Alarid, Neely Jo Jenkins, Derek Scott Pressnall, Nicholas Edward White, Jamie Lynn Williams
She homed with thieves Kicked up dirty leaves She was a maniac No one's heart attack
She got around Slept on the bad side of town She was cooler than you Way cooler than me
She was true All blinded and bruised She didn't give a fuck No, she had given up
She was alive She was caught on fire She was everything She was all of this
She opened up and laid it all right there She said, I don't mind No, no I don't care I'll help you shovel out my shallow hole
And I know, I know they're threatening But at least we're not the ones carrying Such heavy, heavy, heavy stoning stones
And yeah, I know they'll get you down They'll do you in and they'll drag it out 'Cause me and you, we are one of a kind
She liked to lose Never wore Sunday shoes She found her luck in wells And corner stores and jails
She was crazy A downtown kind of baby Always dangerous She got me down on my knees
She made it rain She called the wind and then it came Oh, with the wave of a hand Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com She brought the sunshine right in
She was the sky Beyond steeple and the choir Oh, the preacher's amen His hallelujah child
She opened up and laid it all right there She said, I don't mind, no, no I don't care I'll help you shovel out my shallow hole
And I know, I know they are threatening But at least we're not the ones carrying Such heavy, heavy, heavy stoning stones
So when your bones are broke and you're all alone And the fog's so thick you can't see up close Just know that I will end up strangled too
And when the floods they come all rushing in And the boat is full and you can't get in Oh, it's okay if you don't want to swim
And when you're swallowed up, oh, don't you cry Just give right in, don't you try to fight 'Cause baby, I wouldn't pay no mind There's nothing you can do
They'll have you coughing up your colors They'll have you coughing up your colors They'll have you coughing up your colors They'll have you coughing up your colors
She sang the blues out of time and out of tune Spoke no silver spoon, only simple truths She was a friend, stabbed backs and broke plans She would give you her coat or put nails through your hand
She was wise, full magic and life Oh, you could see it in her eyes Oh, yeah, I saw it in his eyes
She was more than this Ya, way more than this She was everything She was all of this
