Elephant In the Corner

at the party all the people look around and the can see that there's an elephant in the corner who is he? they take drinks,pills, and cheap therapy but do they see? it's all the silence, the lips are moving service all the liars, make them humble yet they still won't ask for guidance and the elephant he holds onto the key but it leads to places they don't want to be. that the elephant in the corner was me. hold your hands out let me see what you have inside them what is it that you hide there voices,faces everywhere burned out dreams, but no one dares cover them, did you need them spared the elephant was there. to bad you didn't care. At the lighthouse, we observed the waves they crashed and dashed beside us as we blanketed the stars how they divide, just put away your sleepy mind and let it bide us. because soon enough time will not revive us. are we to long gone or will he come to guide us? the elephant remains around to smite us. we can see him but deny, we lie, we spite just the fact he's here tonight. please tell me that you've seen him here does he whisper in your ear? your deeds, your lies, your face you hide, the ones who cried, those left behind, he looks at you without a grin, he knows your moves your every whim, your groans and tones the hate you own, the epitaph on you headstone. the elephant is only skin and bones. and now your all alone...
