From the recording Altitude (2026)
Lyrics
ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
Hour after hour
Minute by minute
Hard to recognize
When you are right in it
Night turns to day
And day turns to night
Ending is beginning
Did you play it right?,
Play it right?
The devil’s in the details
It’s not what you expect
Honesty slides aside
Your words becomes suspect
Time moves forward
Nowhere can you run
A shock to the system
You drop the smoking gun,
The smoking gun
Like an elephant standing in the room
We choose what we want to see
As Shakespeare wrote in Cymberline
The game is up, the game is up
For you and me
Solo
Like a movie from a novel,
A classic film noir
A victim of your shadows
You run, but don’t get far
Is it your guilt,
That finally takes you down?
The blame is yours and yours to own,
But there’s enough to go around, go around
Parasite or paramour?,
A view from the world’s end
I won’t pretend to know you now,
On that you can depend, can depend
Like an elephant standing in the room
We choose what we want to see
As Shakespeare wrote in Cymberline
The game is up, the game is up
For you and me
