lyrics

Hunker down
Find a quiet corner in your head.
And wait it out
It might be a fleeting sense of dread.
Feign a smile,
Just another couple hours left.
These sweaty palms
They always struggle to catch my breath.

I swear the clock hasn't moved since I arrived.
My mind is racing but my thoughts are all on ice.
I swear these pockets were much deeper yesterday.
Do I swear too much?
Who are you to say.

You made it out...
So where's the glowing sense of relief?
Under the sheets
You found a castle and a keep.
The musty air
Is an elixir for the soul.
So breathe it in
With another yawn, this one twice as long.

I must be tired not been sleeping very sound.
Think I'll stay in today, the world can wait.
Pulse is climbing at the thought of the unknown.
But there it is,
Just beyond that unwashed window.

The elephant in the room has it's trunk around my neck
And I start to forget what I'm doing here.
I'm now starting to see I wear my worries on my sleeve
And I'm so scared of living in fear.
Well, I'm the fucking zookeeper, the warden, and the guard.
All the alligators bolted and the rhinos ran so far.
Yet, the elephant remains – it's planted firmly on my chest
And there it shall remain; stubborn in spit of my requests.

Come on down
It's not the price but the time that's right.
Is it worth a shot;
Can you enjoy yourself sometimes?
The city air
Feels so fresh and unfamiliar.
Now the trunk is gone
So breathe it in, it won't last forever.
