Ink Elephants Lyrics

Inking up, was never half as fun
as you dreamt it'd be
is it my dear?

you were bright, for almost one whole night
but then came all the callings,the longing, the crying, the tears
so i'll bid you adieu
so long, very well.
i can't contemplate my greatness
while i'm shackled next to hell.

letting the heat absorb my body
but i'll never get the burn
though you might get lonely baby,
it ain't your turn.

growing up, i never interrupt
my brothers fisted cuffs
with my face.
he would go, punching me in the throat
now those days are gone,
i've grown up, i've changed.

so to be, things must end
i mean this to offend
but i had better be unconscious if i sleep with you again.
yo're like Jesus in the morning, but your'e Judas after ten.
thought you might get horny baby,
i ain't your friend.

doors are closed, animals in their homes
it's easier to live alone,
then against the grid.
the bed is made, its dirty but it's safe
It's brilliance was robbed that day,
so now i keep it hid.

If i am in your town,
i'll see you around.
it's not hard to spot you walking
since you step like such a clown.
where i can see your patch of smog above
I know you can be found
though you might forgive me baby,
I'm finished now.

i can patch of smog above,
but i know you can be found.
thought you might forgive me babe,
oh no.
