song about erik sanden

lyrics

the ticking is the bomb
way deep inside my chest
so let’s unearth it
let’s strike the match

erik sanden

i am free like you said i would be
i can sing but it ain’t that pretty
i set it off
tick tock tick tock

what would the beach boys do?
what would lou reed say?
“just be honest”
just stay engaged

erik sanden

i am free like you said i would be
i can see that yer oh so pretty
i’m happy cuz i’m not lonely
it’s ticking and i know what it means

i set it off
tick tock tick tock

end of the party and i’m still standing
me and you i know
my vision fogged up
i’m limping on my foot with webbed toes

erik sanden
