Tides of Elephants Lyrics

There's safety in seclusion, at least that's what I have told myself

The simplest of solutions, the path that I have known so well

(Panic sets in, Run)

Will I ever see past the faces that I've learned to fear

(What have you become)

Or will I run away and give into the mirror

The writing on the wall gets thicker every year

They keep telling me to build into the sky

But I swear you've been the strongest pillar for me my dear

That's why I can break through, I got to try

So calling all cars, lets hit the pavement

Were chasing out our ghost

Beyond the walls were celebrating

With everyone I've ever known

The road is long but I will make it

Ill keep myself afloat

And if the tides decide to shift then ill still find my way back home

And though the way ahead will never be that clear

Well there's more trials and tribulations I don't know

(You shouldn't fear what is unknown)

And I can feel my past its loud enough for me to hear

The pain it rattles through my bones

I have been broken and defeated, made to think I'm never enough

I've been filled with so much hot air that my gas could light the sun

But I'm so tired of these feelings, I've got to make a change

My past will not define me, so ill grit my teeth and find a way

But I'm so tired of these feelings, I've got to make a change

My past will not define me, so ill grit my teeth and find a way
