"CHASING THE CHERRY GHOST" - ADDICTION PT2 - Red Face

[Intro: Glitchy synths, Panicked vocals] She used to sparkle Now she flickers And I chase her through the panic [Verse 1: Frantic delivery, tight rhythm] Rent’s still late, fridge still empty Mom’s still crying on the line But I’m chasing cherry echoes Through a maze of neon signs She said she’d be forever But she’s fading in my veins I’m dialing every number But they all just sound the same [Chorus: Desperate scat, layered harmonies, dissonant synth swells] Hah‑hah… mm‑mm… Chasing the cherry ghost She’s slipping through my hands Hah‑hah… mm‑mm… She used to be the answer Now she’s just a reprimand [Verse 2: Jittery rhythm, rising tension] I saw her in the mirror But she vanished when I blinked She used to be my savior Now she’s poison in the ink I’m running through the reruns Of the nights that felt divine She’s laughing in the static While I beg for one more line [Chorus: Same scat, more chaotic layering] Hah‑hah… mm‑mm… Chasing the cherry ghost She’s slipping through my hands Hah‑hah… mm‑mm… She used to be the answer Now she’s just a reprimand [Bridge: Spoken‑sung, strained, dissonant echo] The world still feels so heavy And she’s thinning in my veins Now every street looks empty The color of the world… …drains… [Outro: Fading vocals, glitchy synth decay] She used to sparkle Now she flickers And I chase her through the panic
