about

Another love song... a dark fantasia inspired by Peruvian fester and György Ligeti. Explicit lyrics, so hide your kids.

lyrics

Inside of your mind, and out the corner of your eye.
No disbelief, just assume, when the elephants are in the room.

Well, we bolted up the doors, but they came
Out of the floors and the walls.
The curtains opened with a tortured twist and crawl.
Never disbelieve, just assume when the elephants are in the room.

Inside of your mind,
And all so very disaligned.

Well, the gnawing on our lips met the
Indifferent eclipse in the hall.
Our questions answered when they didn’t talk at all.
Never disbelieve, just assume when the elephants are in the room.

Inside of your mind,
And out the corner of your eye.
All so disaligned,
The notions as they pass you by.
No disbelief, just assume when the elephants are in the room.

They only reside
In broken mirrors and although
They seem so alive,
There’s nothing there but ash and snow.
Better be holding the broom when the elephants are in the room.

All too close up.
A hand wrapped around your waist but keep your fucking mouth shut.
Meet me halfway
Between our silence and our cries will simply melt away.

Keep your fucking mouth shut!

With the bedroom overrun
By all the skeletons dancing around,
Look out the window as we burn it to the ground.

Things lost in the fire,
The picture frames have all resigned.
Tossed into the pyre,
The memories we leave behind.
No disbelief just assume when the elephants are in the room.

Rise out of the well,
They amble slowly on their way.
They’ll follow the trail,
And will until your dying day.
Willingly lead to the tomb when the elephants are in the room.

Well, we bolted up the doors, but they came
Out of the floors and the walls.
The curtains opened with a tortured twist and crawl.
Never disbelieve, just assume when the elephants are in the room.
No disbelief, just assume when the elephants are in the room…

Keep your fucking mouth shut!
