Aaron Robinson - The Elephant lyrics

rate me

I will fall asleep tonight against the will of the world

because peace is not a gift, nor a feeling, a feeling I deserve

still it comes to me each night despite a war inside our heads

and a sea between our bodies, cold and old inside this bed

and you were the mother to my love

but I grew up a runaway

when I was drowning in the storm

you reached out and pulled me ashore

oh no

and I will wake tomorrow, my arms dead by my side

and if I wrap them around you, I'll wrap the truth in a lie

because we both know the evil, the elephant in our tomb

so let's just be lions for the cub in the other room

and I was the killer of your heart

but you thought it best to stay

when I left you drowning in the rain

though I'll try, I'll never know your pain

oh no

<br />

<br />
