ELEPHANT lyrics : "The Philosophy Of Suicide"

What went wrong today? Everything is so controlled
Ideals were abraded by reason
Impotent dreams on an overcast day

Out of the depths I have cried and no one has heard
Gods and heroes and imaginary companions
Unrequited promises no longer suffice

Rhythm to repetition, perseverance to insanity
Just because you're alive doesn't mean others should want you


Knowledge is temptation, I repulse myself
On the borderline between neurosis and psychosis
Dissecting my actions instead of being in the present

I dissociated my fear and allowed it to advise me

I am not a messiah, I am a man in trouble

An unbearable waste with no excuse
Pathetic and scared by grotesque loneliness
Morality wasted in isolation


Tomorrow's smile never comes for me
Ambitious but incapable, weak without direction

Another spring prepares me for another summer alone
And there is no return from the killing hour


To be honest it is not this world I hate
But the circumstances which shaped my mediocrity
Fading in an abyss of inaction, said the mirror

This is not a work of fiction - this is my life

Rape the children for their own good

Scars awaken a tragic sense of destiny
Hope is deception born in alienation
To the frantic throbbing of my own heart


Sorry does nothing, objectifying me with pity
Removing yourself from blame, feigning innocence

If those who find me claim to love me, where were they when I needed them?
Some friends would have been nice


Always anticipating, never receiving, I wait
I may see her soon and I will never leave her again
Perhaps next year, perhaps one day, perhaps never

I am not a child yet I am so inferior

At last I reach out, but am I too late?

Ideation of a choice as I pace in agitation
I just wish I could go back and reverse this mistake
I wanted to dance with her one last time


Denial, anger, bargaining, depression
Anger, depression, bargaining, anger

Depression and anger in a cycle of envy
I did nothing to deserve this, I did nothing


Stop this please - I'm in pain
Why doesn't anyone care?
And who will tell her that I've died?

And how will she know how I suffered?
At last I surrender to tears
As I trace my veins

All I can think of is her
And how much it hurts
