"Elephant" lyrics - WHILE SHE SLEEPS

Everywhere I turn, there's a life on the line
A cure for a price and fuck it, there's an elephant in the room
Turn the page, another headline that you already knew
Paint the picture of a lie behind the truth
We're on a flatline in a sorry state of affairs
Losing the will to live like we're going nowhere
They put the frighteners on us but we all hide something

[Pre-Chorus:]
Enough is enough
I keep asking myself why us?
Enough is enough
I keep killing myself because

[Chorus:]
You said we're only as strong as the fears we confront on the way
They won't find me praying for a hero that hides like our tears from the pain
While the angels sing
"Everything will be okay"
Cross my fingers, point the blame
(I don't believe a word they say)
"Everything will be okay"
Cross my fingers, point the blame
(I don't believe a word they say)

I'd like to think that I don't believe in anything
I'm just a heathen in disbelief
And I know, when I'm desperate I still call, don't we all?

[Pre-Chorus:]
Enough is enough
We can't see what's in front of us
Enough is enough
Stop the world, I want to get off

[Chorus:]
You said we're only as strong as the fears we confront on the way
They won't find me praying for a hero that hides like our tears from the pain
You said we're only as strong as the fears we confront on the way
They won't find me praying for a hero that hides like our tears from the pain
While the angels sing
"Everything will be okay"
Cross my fingers, point the blame
(I don't believe a word they say)
"Everything will be okay"
Cross my fingers, point the blame
(I don't believe a word they say)

[Bridge:]
Everywhere I turn
There's a life on the line, a cure for a price and fuck it
There's an elephant in the room
Turn the page, another headline that you already knew
Clean the slate with the water we pollute
How many times do I have to disobey to be saved?
We're already the 'cause but we call it a mistake, I believed it
Even if it's just a figure of our imagination
The ground we walk is sacred but the grave we make is closer to hell

[Breakdown:]
We all hide something
We all hide something
We all hide something
