ELEPHANT Lyrics

The creaking sound of the floorboards

Echoes throughout the halls

I just wish that you would speak up

I wish that you would say something

Can you feel the tension

The ceiling is showing its cracks

Are you willing to sit there

As it all collapse

Somethings are permanent

And can't be erased

There's no way to cover up

The faults in the ceiling

Heavy is the crown upon the head

Who wants the throne

Well I have carried

More of its burden than you

We all had a part to play

But you just refused

Why don't you say

Something I'm begging you

But if you're gonna stay closed

Then I won't be here

Our weak foundation

Didn't withstand the heavy steps

That we took throughout the house

But I'm ready to rebuild now

All I need is your helping hand

To help me tear it down

All I need is your helping hand

But you cover your heart and mouth

Drawn in wet cement

Some memories we can't forget

But I know you rather

Keep our sins in the basement

I just wish you'd speak up

The silence is deafening

Why won't you speak

Do you feel the tension

These walls are giving in

Are you willing to die here

Buried under the weight

The floorboards are giving out

Yet you don't even blink

So you would rather lose it all

Than even say you're sorry

I've looked past your mistakes

But there's somethings we just can't forget

You've chosen to stand below

The elephant in the attic

I just wanted you to speak up

Cuz I can forgive you

But I'll never forget
