Elephant

from The Family Portrait by Differences

/

lyrics

The creaking sound of the floorboards
Echoes throughout the halls
I just wish that you would speak up
I wish that you would say something
Can you feel the tension
The ceiling is showing its cracks
Are you willing to sit there
As it all collapse

Somethings are permanent
And can't be erased
There's no way to cover up
The faults in the ceiling

Heavy is the crown upon the head
Who wants the throne
Well I have carried
More of its burden than you
We all had a part to play
But you just refused
Why don't you say
Something I'm begging you
But if you're gonna stay closed
Then I won't be here
Our weak foundation
Didn't withstand the heavy steps
That we took throughout the house
But I'm ready to rebuild now
All I need is your helping hand
To help me tear it down
All I need is your helping hand
But you cover your heart and mouth

Drawn in wet cement
Some memories we can't forget
But I know you rather
Keep our sins in the basement
I just wish you'd speak up
The silence is deafening
Why won't you speak

Do you feel the tension
These walls are giving in
Are you willing to die here
Buried under the weight
The floorboards are giving out
Yet you don't even blink
So you would rather lose it all
Than even say you're sorry

I've looked past your mistakes
But there's somethings we just can't forget
You've chosen to stand below
The elephant in the attic
I just wanted you to speak up
Cuz I can forgive you
But I'll never forget
