Elephant

Move to the lakeside concrete metal forest
To get away from suburban circumstance
Too many voices yelling in my headset
The mindless jargon made me run to city silence

Filling in the holes with a false supposition
Of myself and who I'm supposed to be
Everybody needs a reason to keep breathing
I hope I find mine before our last season

I am jumping fences, climbing in zoo cages
To stare down my integrity in fight or flight mages
You put the donkey down when it no longer plows 
But you can't ignore the elephant that's on your sofa
Look into his eyes so saintly, honest, dumb
You can't ignore the elephant that's on your sofa
