Hands…
I…
Don’t…
Need…
You….
To……
Hold….
My/Your….
Hands.
Theres only one of us home
Who it is, I don’t know
But he’s losing his grip
So you’re gaining control
And its the part you don’t know
That’ll make ‘I’m grow tall
Cause there’s one of us home.
Who you are to say….
What roles I play.
Whats going on’s, going on.
Seems the only way
Who you are you to be so right
I’ll teach you about sacrifice.
The days will be ok
But you’ll be dealing with these restless nights.
Hands…
I…
Don’t…
Need…
You…
To…
Hold…
My/Your…
Hands.
I have been here before
And I’ve had this red drink
And I know what it’s for
It’ll make me think
And I know what you’re at
You wanna stay home
But I catch you in the act
Cause I’ve known all along
Who you are to say….
What roles I play.
Whats going on’s, going on.
Seems the only way
Who you are you to be so right
I’ll teach you about sacrifice.
Your day will be ok
But you’ll be dealing with these restless nights.
Who you are to say….
What roles I play.
Whats going on’s, going on.
Seems the only way
Who you are you to be so right
I’ll teach you about sacrifice.
Your day will be ok
But you’ll be dealing with these restless nights.

Where are you going?
Please don’t drive away…
I don’t feel safe here.
I don’t want to stay.
He can’t even know me.
Unless I play his role.
Strange little smile,
On the shadow of a soul
I won’t feel to welcome, no.
Part of his masterful plan
To quietly loathe and detest
This sardonic, lonely little man.
The monsters will come at night
You’ll be just fine
Just keep that strange little smile
And bury him deep in your mind
And one day you will open up
Its gonna bleed
Let it pour out and let time do its thing
And give all you love, all that you need…
What you need…
You need…
To know that you are not he.

What was it like?
Slamming the door.
Did it make you feel right?
Do you hurt anymore?
Does it make you feel tall?
Can you see over me?
Do you see it all?
Then tell me where should I be
How did it feel?
To punch a whole in the wall
Take good look through it
Can you see my heart fall?
You think, you think your problem is the elephant in the room.
You keep, you keep this up and I will be the elephant soon.
You know, you know you’re tough but give it up, this part of you’s doomed
But you still keep this up and I will be the elephant soon!
So…what do you know?
I lifetime of anger, hasn’t helped you at all
Take a good look around
What do you see?
No one is watching you, no one but me
You think, you think your problem is the elephant in the room.
You keep, you keep this up and I will be the elephant soon.
You think, you think your problem is the elephant in the room.
You keep, you keep this up and I will be the elephant soon.
And when I learn to move these legs you will have nothing to fear
Until I raise my trunk and I will be the elephant soon.
When you come at me
So slow you move
All I see now
Is the icy blue…
Of your eyes
I know that I must walk away
I’ve nothing yet, nothing yet to say
But when I do you best believe your insecurities true
Until I raise my trunk and I destroy this part of you.
I’ll be the elephant soon.
I’ll be the elephant soon.
I’l be the elephant soon.
You think, you think your problem is the elephant in the room.
(I’ll be the elephant soon.)
You keep, you keep this up and I will be the elephant soon.
(I’ll be the elephant soon.)
You know, you know you’re tough but give it up, this part of you’s doomed
(I’ll be the elephant soon.)
But you still keep this up and I will be the elephant soon!
(I’ll be the elephant soon.)

Its early in the morning, I see you
Oh, but I wonder if you do.
I hope you do…
Like I do.
I do.
Its early in the morning, I see you
Oh, but I wonder if you do.
I’m in the middle of seeing both ways
Do you?
Do you?
I do.
I see you do, but I have a hard time believing that you’re not playing it both ways
I’m in the middle of seeing both ways
Like I do…
You say you do, but I don’t know if I believe you’re playing it both ways
I’m in the middle of seeing some both ways
Like I do…
Like I do…
I don’t know, I believe you, I guess I should.
Like I do
You say you do, but I don’t know if you’re thinking of me
Or you.
I’m in the middle of seeing some both ways
Like I do…
Like I do…
I don’t know, I believe you, I guess I should.
Like I do
You say you do, but I don’t know if you’re thinking of me
Or you.
