"Elephant In The Room (If You Can Keep A Secret)" lyrics
I've come too fucking far to just let some fucking kid
Run his big fucking mouth, and ruin my life and his
Have you ever killed somebody in the middle of a major city?
You do not talk to me about fear
I still smell the smoke
I still feel her hair
I still see the tire marks, still hear the radio
I still taste her blood
Smile and wave goodbye to how it was
121,000 crashes in Philly last year, that's 87,000 injuries
That's 1,256 deaths, but this one is not getting reported
Everyone looks at the fly on the wall
But ignores the elephant in the room
As far back as I can remember, this same fucking thing has followed me
I can't just chalk it up to like bad luck, black cats, it's a part of me
So I just jump ship in a leap of faith, and I just try to stay out the fucking way
But if we're all just children of God who live under the stairs, then who cares?
You ran from the park, I run from the dark
I won't keep the score if you can keep a secret
I don't have to explain myself
We both know why I left the school in New Jersey
You want your bed warm and your orange juice cold
You want everything perfect, but that's not real
Your salad days are wilting away
While you obsess and regress with chimera and zeal
Look into my purple tie
And you'll see exactly where your fate lies
An exit for each primary color
And a ritualistic suicide
Run his big fucking mouth, and ruin my life and his
Have you ever killed somebody in the middle of a major city?
You do not talk to me about fear
I still smell the smoke
I still feel her hair
I still see the tire marks, still hear the radio
I still taste her blood
Smile and wave goodbye to how it was
121,000 crashes in Philly last year, that's 87,000 injuries
That's 1,256 deaths, but this one is not getting reported
Everyone looks at the fly on the wall
But ignores the elephant in the room
As far back as I can remember, this same fucking thing has followed me
I can't just chalk it up to like bad luck, black cats, it's a part of me
So I just jump ship in a leap of faith, and I just try to stay out the fucking way
But if we're all just children of God who live under the stairs, then who cares?
You ran from the park, I run from the dark
I won't keep the score if you can keep a secret
I don't have to explain myself
We both know why I left the school in New Jersey
You want your bed warm and your orange juice cold
You want everything perfect, but that's not real
Your salad days are wilting away
While you obsess and regress with chimera and zeal
Look into my purple tie
And you'll see exactly where your fate lies
An exit for each primary color
And a ritualistic suicide
