Lyrics Aaron Robinson - The Elephant

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, oh no, 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, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no , oh no....
