https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/vincent-burke\/between-one-thing-and-another<\/a><\/p>\nI wash my face
\nI scratch my head
\nI shave my chin go back to bed
\nI am between<\/p>\n
between decision and result
\nafter the skid
\nbefore the crunch
\nI am between<\/p>\n
what I am is pushing into something I could be
\nI cut the cord umbilicus
\nand now I’m falling free<\/p>\n
between the hammer and the nail
\nit’s not a pass
\nit’s not a fail
\nI am between<\/p>\n
between the spaces in the words
\nI’m strictly straight
\nand cryptic curved
\nI am between<\/p>\n
what I am is pushing into something I could be
\nI cut the cord umbilicus
\nand now I’m falling free<\/p>\n
I know completion is a lie
\nwhen something finishes it dies
\nwe are between<\/p>\n
but here between the earth and sky
\nto take a jump
\nand try to fly
\nwe are between<\/p>\n
what we are is pushing into something we could be
\nthey cut the cord umbilicus
\nand now we’re falling free<\/p>\n
we are between
\nwe are between
\none thing and another
\none thing and another
\nwe are between<\/p>\n
