Elephant Songtext
von Larkin Poe

It′s in the room now
It's in the room now
It′s in the room now
It's in the room, room, room, room
Room now, it's in the room now
It′s in the room now
It′s in the room, room, room (oh)

Is a lie, still a lie, if the words are never spoken?
Can a heart be truly broken without an act of violence?
Loopholes find a breach
Add it up a figure of speech
You skirt around and tell me lies that sound a lot like silence

But you never really had the nerve
Did you think I needed it to be better than it really was
Did you think, did you think, oh, that I couldn't really handle it?
Did you think I needed it to be
Better than it really was by lying about the truth?


So you turn your back like you can′t even see it, see it
Tell me that I'm making it up, oh (as you turn your back)
(Say you couldn′t believe it)
Oh, you better tell me the truth

It's in the room now
It′s in the room now
It's in the room now
It's in the room, room, room, room
Room now, it′s in the room now
It′s in the room now
It's in the room, room, room

Tongue-tied so you justify your lack of words by feeling hurt
Spin the bottle back on me
You push the throttle, crank the heat
With room to pride and righteous anger
When did you become a stranger?
Welcome home my lying lover
You and I are not alone

But you never really had the nerve
Did you think I needed it to be better than it really was
Did you think, did you think, oh, that I couldn′t really handle it?
Did you think I needed it to be
Better than it really was by lying about the truth?


So you turn your back like you can't even see it, see it
Tell me that I′m making it up, oh (as you turn your back)
(Say you couldn't believe it)
Oh, oh, you better tell me the truth

It′s in the room now
It's in the room now
It's in the room now
It′s in the room, room, room, room
Room now, it′s in the room now
It's in the room now, it′s in the room, room, room

So you turn your back like you can't even see it, see it
Tell me that I′m making it up, oh (as you turn your back)
(Say you couldn't believe it)
As you try to brush it under the rug, but I can see it clearly
There′s an elephant in the room
Better tell me the truth, the truth, the truth, truth, truth
You better tell me the truth

It's in the room now
It's in the room now
It′s in the room now
It′s in the room, room, room, room
Room now, it's in the room now
It′s in the room now
It's in the room, room, room

Room now, it′s in the room now
It's in the room now
It′s in the room, room, room
Room now, it's in the room now
It's in the room now
It′s in the room, room, room
