Lost in a world of the author's making,
Coffee and tea
Are the good company since twenty

Laying on the rotten floorboards
With fictions clutched to chest
Teary eyes,
Sober lips,
Storms and rainy night are singing

Past 12,
And you realized,
The sound of the piano ;
The pauses between the notes
That's where your heart resides.
I had an Elephant when I was little.
It was my favorite companion,
And was small in size but large in life.

He cradled my heart in his plush paws,
And held my world apron his back.

It was well worn with Love and Memory,
And wore the weight of my troubles as a skin.

His color was blue, and was just big enough to hold close.


I had an Elephant when I was little.

He was small, yet large.
He held my heart and my world,
And was a silent hero with no pay.

It's skin was worn with memories,
And it was just big enough to hold close.

I had an Elephant when I was little.
Have you seen it?

Because I am lost without it.
When you're bored and have nothing to do,
Everyone's busy except the only you.
Don't be afraid, you have nothing to fear,
Just sit down and grab a beer.

If you're ****** and all you have is anger.
Be careful, 'cos it a letter away from danger.
And if taking it to someone will make you a queer,
Just relax and grab a beer

There are times when you feel so lonely.
Problems come again and again slowly.
Don't feel bad, not now, my dear,
Just sit down and have a beer.

When you're sad, down and sorry,
Just chill - you have nothing to worry.
Think that the end of the road is near,
So, just relax and grab a beer.

Beer won't make you cry, Beer won't leave you
Beer don't get pregnant, Beer can pleasure you
Beer can make your life better,
Beer's a good way to save water.

Sometimes in life, trouble knocks on your door,
Remember that troubles are what solution's for.
Today might be blurry but tomorrow's gonna be clear,
So, just sit down and have a beer.

Some days you tend to wonder,
If things will ever change
Or will we keep repeating
To live this life of disarray

Some days you wake up,
To the sound of failing love
Anticipating someone
Will say they’ve had enough

Is there still hope?
Is there still hope for us?

Some nights you lie down,
But you just can’t get to sleep
Because those harsh words
In your head are on repeat

Is there still hope?
Is there still hope for us?
For us.

I cannot wait,
forever

Without hope,
or some kind of sign
that this impossible love
is a possibility

No, I can't go on,
waiting in the dark
or screaming in silence

Dying day by day
watching you break my heart
without touching it at all
When rebels and hearts collide
You and I stand between
Holding on to a world
Where it was meant to be letting go

Swords rain down on us
Driving us apart
Hearts tearing up to pieces
We always ask to survive

Was love not enough?
Like the stars that appear
In the darkness of a sky
Would we be enough?

Let the rain fall
As hard as rocks on the road
Let it pour on us
We wont back down today

Love is enough
When you fist your heart
To fight back hard
With every single thing

Let's hold on
To world that wants us to let go
Let's stand between them
And together form our own world
