Elephant In The Room

Calling you to wake
Shouting in my car that's stalled outside
And it's pure coincidence I'm sure

Falling from my mouth
Secondary doubts I've found myself in
Can't seem to look you in the eye

And I hope you can see
I'm more than this, this heap at your feet
Who are you to judge me?
Who are you to preach?
Control has slipped away from me again

How heavy are these words?
They're heavier than air
That rushes past your face
As you drive away from me again

How heavy are these hands?
They're heavier than blood
That rushes to my head
As you walk away from me again

Forcing you to speak
Snapping out my voice seems smaller now
It's only whispering my life

Paper cuts in time
I insist you keep these letters here
And read them over if you can

And I hope you can see
I'm more than this, this heap at your feet
Who are you to judge me?
Who are you to preach?
Control has slipped away from me again

How heavy are these words?
They're heavier than air
That rushes past your face
As you drive away from me again

How heavy are my hands?
They're heavier than blood
That rushes to my head
As I will walk away from here again

How heavy are these words?
They're heavier than air
That rushes to my face
As you turn away from me again

How heavy are these words
Heavier than time
That rushes past your face
As you would turn to walk away again
