The Elephant
The mother waits for the boy to come home
He hasn't been picking up his phone
His eyes are cast down to the ground
He sits in his room without a sound
Sing sweet ivory
The tusks thrust through the dark
And the elephant is lying there
With a dagger through its heart
Sing for the fallen ones
The ones who never said
All the things that were really
Going on inside their head
The wife watches the husband scream
He doesn't know where she's been
There's no trust and no way out
If only they'd open up their mouths
Sing sweet ivory
The tusks thrust through the dark
And the elephant is lying there
With a dagger through its heart
Sing for the fallen ones
The ones who never said
All the things that were really
Going on inside their head
The friends push each other away
They can't find anything to say
Their pride is bigger than themselves
So they go looking somewhere else
Sing sweet ivory
The tusks thrust through the dark
And the elephant is lying there
With a dagger through its heart
Sing for the fallen ones
The ones who never said
All the things that were really
Going on inside their head
Sing sweet ivory
The tusks thrust through the dark
And the elephant is lying there
With a dagger through its heart
Sing for the fallen ones
The ones who never said
All the things that were really
Going on inside their head
He hasn't been picking up his phone
His eyes are cast down to the ground
He sits in his room without a sound
Sing sweet ivory
The tusks thrust through the dark
And the elephant is lying there
With a dagger through its heart
Sing for the fallen ones
The ones who never said
All the things that were really
Going on inside their head
The wife watches the husband scream
He doesn't know where she's been
There's no trust and no way out
If only they'd open up their mouths
Sing sweet ivory
The tusks thrust through the dark
And the elephant is lying there
With a dagger through its heart
Sing for the fallen ones
The ones who never said
All the things that were really
Going on inside their head
The friends push each other away
They can't find anything to say
Their pride is bigger than themselves
So they go looking somewhere else
Sing sweet ivory
The tusks thrust through the dark
And the elephant is lying there
With a dagger through its heart
Sing for the fallen ones
The ones who never said
All the things that were really
Going on inside their head
Sing sweet ivory
The tusks thrust through the dark
And the elephant is lying there
With a dagger through its heart
Sing for the fallen ones
The ones who never said
All the things that were really
Going on inside their head
