That's Not My Elephant

That's not my elephant.
They told me there's no elephant in my house.
They told me I dare not speak of it.
If I do I am crazy,crazy like the thought's in my head
shattering like the sound of broken Jim Beam Bottles.
Shattering like their words to each other as I fall sleep each night.
Sometimes I think when I'm asleep it's like being in heaven,
cause theres no one there but me and God.
It's so pure my dreams.
They don't lie to me.
that's not my elephant!
