Lyric

Plastic cup sweating on the counter

Sweet gone thin in the afternoon

I paid too much to feel softer

Now the straw bends out of tune

Frappuccino melting in my hand

Like a small lie I could afford

City light stuck to the lid

I keep wanting and wanting more

I don’t call it lonely

I just let it go warm

Plastic cup frappe

Cold little mercy in a throwaway shape

I sip till the color turns plain

Still can’t name what I came here to chase

Plastic cup frappe

Sugar on my tongue like a temporary faith

I smile like I got what I need

Then leave with the hollow in me

Receipt curled up by the sink

Lip gloss mark on the plastic rim

I buy one more beautiful thing

Just to watch it cave in

Outside the glass, cars keep moving

Everybody looks almost saved

I stand in line for a feeling

Then carry it home half-drained

I don’t say I’m empty

I just make it look clean

Plastic cup frappe

Cold little mercy in a throwaway shape

I sip till the color turns plain

Still can’t name what I came here to chase

Plastic cup frappe

Sugar on my tongue like a temporary faith

I smile like I got what I need

Then leave with the hollow in me
