The Elephant

The Elephant [Verse 1] I run away, I run away to get my heavenly fix A little truth, a little lie, I get the perfect mix Call up a shrink, a medium, I need an exorcist I'm letting out, I'm letting in, I'm working through some shit I don't wanna feel this weight Crushing me like I'm not delicate This is my revenant [Chorus] Time to stare it dead in the face There's no other way around it I can run from it, but I can't hide Seen the elephant from every side Now I'm standing on the cold quayside Screaming elegiеs into the night Screaming, save mе from the wreck I am Pull me under, pull me up again I'm so done believing I've been living in sin [Post-Chorus] Let the light back in Let the light back Let the light back in Let the light back Let the light back in [Verse 2] A little faith, a little faith, a little courage now Up on the wing, up on a wave, onto another town It's gonna feel a little strange, and then a lot somehow But if I'm learning anything, I gotta not back down I've been terrified to change my fate Took an emotional holiday from all this disarray [Chorus] It's time to stare it dead in the face There's no other way around it I can run from it, but I can't hide Seen the elephant from every side Now I'm standing on the cold quayside Screaming elegies into the night Screaming, save me from the wreck I am Pull me under, pull me up again I'm so done believing I've been living in sin [Post-Chorus] Let the light back in Let the light back Let the light back in Let the light back Let the light back in [Chorus] I can run from it, but I can't hide Seen the elephant from every side Now I'm standing on the cold quayside Screaming elegies into the night Screaming, save me from the wreck I am Pull me under, pull me up again I'm so done believing I've been living in sin [Post-Chorus] Let the light back in Let the light back Let the light back in Let the light back Let the light back in Let the light back Let the light back in Let the light back Let the light back in
