Aaron Robinson - The Elephant lyrics

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 k**er 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
