ELEPHANT
EVERYWHERE I TURN, THERE’S A LIFE ON THE LINE,
A CURE FOR A PRICE AND FUCK IT, THERE’S AN ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM.
TURN THE PAGE, ANOTHER HEADLINE THAT YOU ALREADY KNEW,
PAINT THE PICTURE OF A LIE BEHIND THE TRUTH.
WE’RE ON A FLATLINE IN A SORRY STATE OF AFFAIRS,
LOSING THE WILL TO LIVE, LIKE WE’RE GOING NOWHERE.
THEY PUT THE FRIGHTENERS ON US BUT WE ALL HIDE SOMETHING.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, I KEEP ASKING MYSELF WHY US?
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, I KEEP KILLING MYSELF BECAUSE:
YOU SAID WE’RE ONLY AS STRONG
AS THE FEARS WE CONFRONT ON THE WAY.
THEY WON’T FIND ME PRAYING FOR A HERO
THAT HIDES LIKE OUR TEARS FROM THE PAIN.
WHILE THE ANGELS SING, ‘EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY’.
CROSS MY FINGERS, POINT THE BLAME,
I DON’T BELIEVE A WORD THEY SAY.
I’D LIKE TO THINK THAT I DON’T BELIEVE IN ANYTHING,
I’M JUST A HEATHEN IN DISBELIEF
AND I KNOW, WHEN I’M DESPERATE I STILL CALL, DON’T WE ALL?
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, WE CAN’T SEE WHAT’S IN FRONT OF US.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, STOP THE WORLD I WANT TO GET OFF.
YOU SAID WE’RE ONLY AS STRONG
AS THE FEARS WE CONFRONT ON THE WAY.
THEY WON’T FIND ME PRAYING FOR A HERO
THAT HIDES LIKE OUR TEARS FROM THE PAIN.
EVERYWHERE I TURN, THERE’S A LIFE ON THE LINE, A CURE FOR A PRICE
AND FUCK IT, THERE’S AN ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM.
TURN THE PAGE ANOTHER HEADLINE THAT YOU ALREADY KNEW.
CLEAN THE SLATE WITH THE WATER WE POLLUTE.
HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO DISOBEY TO BE SAVED?
WE’RE ALREADY THE CAUSE BUT WE CALL IT A MISTAKE, I BELIEVED IT.
EVEN IF IT’S JUST A FIGURE OF OUR IMAGINATION,
THE GROUND WE WALK IS SACRED
BUT THE GRAVE WE MAKE IS CLOSER TO HELL.
WE ALL HIDE SOMETHING.
