Well I'm running out of new words to say
The sky has been the grayest blue for days
And the slowly growing sympathy waits for me on every face

I'm trying to figure out what clever is

There are elephants in every room I see

They softly hum beneath the words we speak
But we've sugar coated everything and now it's rotting out my teeth

Decisions set the good and bad at war
And your life is what you've chosen but living is the back and forth

And the truth that keeps me up at night
It's the hardest thing to recognize
And the wall is pulling my eyes closed

And time's not what she used to be

And all that was in front of me is behind

God knows how I tried
