lyrics

Thoughts on the way we used to feel once
We were coughing up our lungs
Up our hearts
Up our thoughts

Sunday dinner medications
Up our sleeves
Up our noses
Upper class
Sign of the cross
Sign of the times, you blew my mind apart

I’m starting my day off right
Curbing this appetite for you
It will be a lovely sight
When all these strangers catch the flu
Light me up
Shake my hand
Pray for the ones
That don’t understand…

“This black lung it tears our insides apart
We used to cough up love
But now we cough up blood
Cough up daisies
Rise above…”

Dandelions in your grocery cart
Sign of the times, you blew my mind apart
Words from the way we used to talk once
We were speaking all in tongues
My impatience, second to none

White lines and transparent faces
Up in arms
Up for breakfast
Up the dosage

We’re all at a loss
Sign of the times you blew my mind apart
I’d just started to see the light
When all these promises fell through
Out of sight, Out of mind
Blinded by this narrow point of view

Shake me up
Light the fuse
Take this cup
Tie the noose…

“This black lung it tears our insides apart
We used to cough up love
But now we cough up blood
Cough up daisies
Rise above…”

Clever imitations hiding in the dark.
Sign of the times you blew my mind apart
