Elephant

Album: So What? (2019)

  • 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
    "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
    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
    "Everything will be okay"
    Cross my fingers, point the blame
    I don't believe a word they say

    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
    We all hide something
    We all hide something Writer/s: Aaran Mackenzie, Adam Savage, Lawrence Taylor, Matthew Welsh, Sean Long
