"Elephant Lore II" EP Lyrics
Walk Around Me
Chorus
Bang, bang and the curtain pulls away
Last place you thought you’d see me
Swing, swing with the fixtures ‘bout to break
Look how I use your ceiling
You gave me everything
Earful, eye roll
Figure it out
How can you feel it, when I’m near it,
if you walk around me?
V1
Wake up with me tonight
We all got our heads down, bump around
What I just hit? Bahh
Make a fast fist
Ignore me if you want to,
I’m scared of what we’ll both miss
It’s worth a try
For specs in the sky
Repeat Chorus
V2
I saw you on the street
Heard you on the Greyhound, background
Never up close, Ahh
The thoroughfare’s closed
I wanna see what I find, sick of what I’m told
Not you or I
Let’s stop the fight
Want to?
Repeat Chorus
Bankroll, Cardboard
Pompous, Awkward
Days off, 3 jobs
Stances fostered
Dance ‘til the night turns blue
I wanna be with you
But I’ve got the feeling lately
Gone before the table’s empty
Windblown Wishbone
V1
When I say don’t tell me,
Don’t tell me
Gotta use this day as disguise
‘Cause the sunshine’s good at decloaking
Can’t hide this heart with these eyes
Forget the feeling ‘cause there’s something after either way
Chorus
Here we go again
Step back just take this money
I’m surrendering
‘Bout time I lick this honey
Yeah, who needs a friend
sideways with a backwards two-tone?
We’ll remember when
we cut lose
I’m windblown wishbone gone…
Too far, too long
Windblown wishbone gone…
Too far, too long
V2
We’ll get along unless you get in the way now
Fast foot when I tell you “Let’s ride”
You can test the day but don’t break it
Can’t waste it like the last 5
Forget the feeling ‘cause there’s something after either way
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Windblown Wishbone gone
Windblown Wishbone gone
Windblown Wishbone gone
My Name Is (Innocent)
V1
My name is “See you later”
‘Cause there’s too much in my head
Okay, maybe one more drink then
Because I wanna see your bed
I guess you never thought of me…
But I swear I’m innocent
Chorus
I’ve been crawling walls,
Missing falls,
Just barely though
Call my name
I go reset and then address myself
Feeling new but has it been this way?
Hey, it’s more than just a little thing
It’s why I turn my head to you
Say how you feel and is it different than my mind,
Before I went and changed it again?
V2
My name is “Wasn’t thinking”
Thought I saw it in your eyes,
To forget what you had told me,
And give the feelings room to rise
I guess you never thought of me…
But you think that maybe I am innocent
Repeat Chorus
V3
My name is “Best foot forward”
All I have is what I’ve got
At least you call me something,
Because it’s better than you not
I guess you never thought of me…
But you see it now, I’m innocent
Repeat Chorus
Before I went and changed it again
Before It Gets Heavy
V1
Yeah, I’m shy sometimes
What are you really askin’?
I could give you more,
Something filled with facts and
Great unknowns and stones,
Things I can’t control
Yeah, I’m shy sometimes
The quiet’s so fantastic
Chorus
I know you think,
No chance that you’re gonna dance with me
Next thing, you blink
Bring another cup of that whiskey
How about today?
Feels right ‘cause the fear, it just left me
The good ones don’t wait
Better dance now before it gets heavy
V2
Passing by sometimes
Wouldn’t even notice
The ground looks up to ask…
“Are you gonna show this?”
Walked away before I could get it out
But I can’t hold it in
‘Cause I don’t live there now
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Sun & Sirens
V1
Look around
Treasure’s on the ground
It’s manifesting
Strike a pose
Hold the beauty close
Is this relief?
But there’s a cloud
We’re spinning towards it now
Second guessing
Rushing by
A peek into demise
It weighs on me
This blind side helps me to see
what’s on the other
Chorus
Sun and the sirens
Confused as my mind is
Beauty with the bad and they fight
Doves and the Lions
butt heads to decide this
So where you gonna settle your mind?
V2
The quick calm
I wanted all along
5 days coming
Mind’s eye
Light is in the sky
This masterpiece
In the air
Far away despair
Feelings running
Tough twist
Souring the mix
Catastrophe
This blind side helps me to see
what’s on the other
Repeat Chorus
Did we find what we’ve been reaching for
since we were little?
Just a little
Before you get the feeling you’re the only one that’s singing
go and let it breathe
Before it falls on me
Is there anything still in store
that we can whittle?
Just a little
I can make a day out of time and open space
if that’s what it is
Come get a go at this
Swirling dichotomy
It’s tough to riddle when you’re little, yeah
The sun and sirens showed me…
