about

written by Erik Sanden

lyrics

underground so alone
it makes sense to throw dirt on the hurt
but you know it won’t go
plastic phone sits so serene
it makes sense to change a kiss for a hiss
but you know it won’t ring

you’ve got to take easy man
but she won’t let you be
those changes have all come
she won’t let you be
but you know
don’t you know man

underground so damn cold
a flower cannot grow if you mow it too close to the ground
a chamber full burns so damn sweet
when i think of the shot burning hot
it rattles my seams

you’ve got to take easy man
but she won’t let you be
a golden age is gone
she won’t let you be
but you know
but you know man

“it’s your face that i see
and morning’s praise of you is a ghost’s phrase
of the choice filtered thru
the roots of the effacing grass”*
i knew it was you

*W.H. Auden
