Elephant

from 20​/​20 by venray

lyrics

Everybody knows but no one wants to talk about it
And you know we’re all the same
Conversations that will never call for indiscretion
Avoid discomfort out of shame
Imperfection doesn’t harmonize with narcissism
Accountability’s passé
Dirty secrets in the open for all to ignore and
Never cease deflecting blame

Elephant in the room, lend a blind eye to another
I for I and you for you, ignore the truth

Is crass hypocrisy akin to blatant narcissism?
Arrogance is on display
Inner demons hidden deep for nobody to see and
Cover ups are here to stay
Attacking others to avoid admitting weaknesses and
Locking skeletons away
Eventually the ugly truth will be revealed in spite of
This fabricated masquerade

Elephant in the room, lend a blind eye to another
I for I and you for you, ignore the truth

Everybody knows but no one wants to talk about it
And you know we’re all the same
Conversations that will never call for indiscretion
Avoid discomfort out of shame
Imperfection doesn’t harmonize with narcissism
Accountability’s passé
Dirty secrets in the open for all to ignore and
Never cease deflecting blame

Everyone knows, everyone cares
Polite discourse averts stares
Nobody says, nobody does
No progress

Can’t admit, you’re the elephant
Can’t admit, you’re the elephant
Won’t admit, you’re the elephant
Won’t admit, you’re the elephant
