Irrelevant Elephant Lyrics

We stand politely to address the irrelevant elephant in the room

Bright then wilted like flowers bloom, come too quickly and gone too soon

Honorary invocation in memory and salutation

An irreverent celebration that feels like an excavation

Try to push away December

Try to make it last forever

But time goes by

Time goes by

Half-hearted smiles, half-parted lips until the moment fades

A sideways glimpse like sinking ships, and then they glance away

They're standing tall, they're standing still, and then they start to sway

With turning heads, the whispers swell, the silence starts to break

The dejected interjecting stories of a world gone by

Captive audience politely listening while flipping through their own timelines

Building up a stronger grip

Trying not to let it slip

But time goes by

Time goes by

Time goes by

Time goes by
