Life Inside an Elephant - Elsinore

I guess you were right

There’s no point in lingering for days

Let’s be civilized

Untie my hands and let me walk around

Oh, and catch my breath

There’s no going back

You are here and this is really happening

You’re standing right there

Is this going just the way you’d imagined

From the smell in the air to the look on your face?

There’s sweat in my eyes

Do you think you can do something about that?

There’s a little bit of light

Creeping through the cracks around the door

And then I close my eyes and remember

The way your heart slows in December

And how you metabolize and squint your eyes

All this life outside this little room

Think about the things that I have told you

We’re getting on so well I feel like I know you

Is that part of the plan?

Life inside an elephant

Altering your present tense

Hesitantly permanent

Are you really one of them?
