Elephant Man Lyrics

The image I reflect is all I see the mirror is haunting

The laws I break don't shatter the glass they've only shattered me

A covetous thief I've lied through my teeth to convince myself I'm clean

All just smudges on mirrors to hide the obscene

The elephant man is me

(Oh)

I stare at the mountain of virtue and all that's good

I know I have to climb and I'm confident I could

I start quickly paced but soon my muscles ache

A breeze is all it takes

To send me to my fate

Tumbling down on my face

(Oh)

After time for composure I see clear my mistake

Rome and good character take more than a day to make

I took things in day by day wisdom steeling me for my race

Then thunder and the rains

Send me to the plains

Past my starting place

(Oh)

I sulked in my folly when a stranger cooled my wrath

Good news there's a way a secret shepherd's path

He said I can take you but there's one thing I must ask

Leave behind the mask

Join my sheep at last

I am the way to pass

The image I reflect is all I see the scene is surprising

The laws I break shattered your heart and your love shattered me

A covetous thief I fall to my knees for his wounds have cut me deeply

No more smudges on mirrors His mercy is clearer

The elephant man He sees

(Oh)
