Choking the Cherry Lyrics by Poe

Hello

1995

I can see it out my window
That stupid sunshine and those trees
A voice in my head it cuts me down in
And I try to shut it up but I can't let it go

It sounds a lot like you do
Always saying shit I know it's not true
It sucks me in, it spits me out
I try to shut it up cause I must let it go

Hey man, don't you know you're choking the cherry?
Hey man, don't you know me better than that?
Sucking me in, spitting me out
One day I may just leave you far behind me

(Cherry) I can hear it in the hallway
It's out there laughing with its friends
(Cherry) It's a voice in my head
(Cherry) It cuts me down in
(Cherry) And I try to shut it up cause I must let it go

It looks a lot like you do (Cherry)
It looks like I don't wanna say it (Cherry)
It sucks me in (Cherry), it spits me out (Cherry)
I try to shut it up cause I must let it go

Hey man, don't you know you're choking the cherry?
Hey man, don't you know me better than that?
Sucking me in, spitting me out
One day I may just leave you far behind me

Hey man, don't you know you're choking the cherry?
I'm frustrated why don't you get off my back?
Hey man, don't you know you're the choking the cherry
Hey man, you know I deserve better than that

One day I may just leave you far behind me

Hey man, don't you know you're choking the cherry?
Hey man, don't you know me better than that?
Hey man, don't you know you're choking the cherry?
Hey man, don't you know me better than that?
Hey man

I'm frustrated
