Elephant In The Room

ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Elephants can fly in purgatory

Though I don’t know why

That’s just the way this nightmare goes

Sure enough you called my bluff

Now spiders crawl upside the junk

That you left behind and I can’t find my sanity

Jackals are watching me, my every move

Though I see a lazy sky

The dawn is looking blue

Sure to hell I smell the smell

You know me all too well

Like it would even matter that leaving me just leaves me flattered

And I’m sinking inside of this empty house

Chasing hallucinations and a gimpy mouse

Every step I take I feel the misery

I will name him little memory

Something more than what you left for me

Danger is as careful as danger allows

Though purgatory darkens

With every twist and turn

Damn it all you found me

Standing in the corner

Where everything you ever loved is standing there beside me

And I’m sinking inside of this empty house

Chasing hallucinations and a gimpy mouse

Every step I take I feel the misery

I will name him little memory

Something more than what you left for me

Running down a hallway that keeps warping at my feet

I know it isn’t real

I know that I am still asleep

Trying every doorknob that is locked inside itself

I know it isn’t real

It’s just a vision of my future

Damn it to hell when I can tell

That you know me all too well

Like it would even matter that leaving me just leaves me flattered

And I’m sinking inside of this empty house

Chasing hallucinations and a gimpy mouse

Every step I take I feel the misery

I will name him little memory

Something more than what you left for me

Elephants can fly in hell
