Foxp2 - Elephant Graveyard Lyrics

Do you feel bigger, are you a better man?
On your double-barreled crutches is it easier to stand?
Do you sleep soundly, safely, secure all through the night
With a weapon beneath your bed when that's where the monster lies?

And lies lead to lies like light to flies
You're left at rock bottom with no walls left to climb
Your sparks catch fire and they burn us all alive
Yet this is somehow safer than if we'd never caught alight

Skin and bone wrapped around the fear of waking up alone
Sticks and stones, and makeshift thrones
When what's left of me is a shell and an apology
At least I'll still know that I'm not alone
The difference in us lies in how there's no-one, shoulder high, to bring you home

How blissful it must be to be orbited by the Earth
To have nothing be your fault at the center of your universe
They say demons run when a good man goes to war
So start running devil 'cause I'm a saint who won't take this anymore

Lies lead to lies
Left at rock bottom with no walls left to climb
Your ripples turn tidal and they flood the seaside
And you thank your lucky stars you're still alive

Skin and bone wrapped around the fear of waking up alone
Sticks and stones, and makeshift thrones
When what's left of me is a shell and an apology
At least I'll still know that I'm not alone
The difference in us lies in how there's no-one, shoulder high, to bring you home
