Elephants


Time a true illusion
The keeper of all things
Filled with these deceptions
But hope it brings

My heart became an anchor
When I decided to savor

All those little memories
And pieces in these halls
My mind began to bend
And my thoughts would stall

But how can I save you
From what it is that made you

This place we are
This place we are
I'll hold your heart
Close to the stars

My mind, in its delusion
Goes deeper with each step
My fists were shaking
As I try to hold my breath

And you continue to favor
This thoughtless life as they labor

For all those little memories
And pieces in these halls
Were made for us
In a life we never saw

But we can fight for a new view
With better actions, we can choose
