Elephant

You gaze through the only door Of an old fashioned factory floor The staircase is just going down Was it something that you have said Or the moon laughing in your head The only way seems to be down You thought that you had it right Through all of those lonely nights But the carousel's spinning around You fought for some promised land For god and your government But you didn't comprehend Now you finally understand Nothing lasts forever Nothing stays the same We're all in this together Decide what will remain All is new Nothing's gained What was lost Can't be claimed Nothing lasts forever Nothing stays the same We're all in this together Decide what will remain All is new Nothing's gained You gaze through the only door Of an old fashioned factory floor The staircase is just going down You thought that you had it right Through all of those lonely nights But the carousel's spinning around The labyrinth of life it seems Is easy to deplore We're spinning on a carousel Our eyes fixed on the floor But what's the meaning what's the truth Are we seekers in the gloom? It seems to me we all ignore The elephant in the room So tell me what's the purpose here In this game of chess we play Are we Pawns or are we Kings and Queens? And all the fields are grey? And as the stars gaze down in jest On the chaos we relume We dance around and can't escape The elephant in the room Nothing lasts forever Nothing stays the same We're all in this together Decide what will remain All is new Nothing's gained What was lost Can't be claimed Nothing lasts forever Nothing stays the same
