It's In the Way

about

written by erik sanden

lyrics

if my cicatrix could sing
of the dying of the day
of the day
inner milky stars
outer breaches blips on the chart
my little scar with broken guitar might say
“peel me like a little bark
past the dermis to the heart of the pain
i’m only in the way, it’s O.K.”

my my hey hey

when all I know just fades
artifacts remain

it’s in the way it’s in the way
it’s what you hate
it’s in the way
get out of the way

hidden keloid scars outer breaches
rust on the cart
i went walking in the street
where the river meets downtown
i went peeling layers of bark
past the dermis to the heart of the spark
it’s a geography quiz
do you remember where you live?
where you lay
my my, hey hey

when all we know just fades
artifacts remain

it’s in the way
it’s in the way
it’s what you hate
it’s in the way
get out of the way

where the river meets josephine
