Elephant in the Room

I know it's early The sky is still dark And I hope this doesn't wake you up And I don't want to overwhelm you But it has to be said Now before I lose heart And I know it's thorny. It cuts to the truth I hope you get my drift And I don't need an answer but want you to know How much I need you to see this through It's the elephant in the room You're spiraling down Slowly eaten away The elephant devours One bite at a time Our future wanes with the moon I know it's early The sky barely lit And yeah you need to wake up I need you to see to really believe Our dreams are ripe to pick Here within our grip Because I know you still love me And I know you mean well But the light creeps away when you drink So now I'm begging, won't you Wake up please It's the elephant in the room I'm spiraling down Spirit wasting away The elephant devours One bite at a time Our future wanes with the moon It's the elephant in the room You're spiraling down Slowly eaten away The elephant devours One bite at a time Our future wanes with the moon Too soon See the elephant Devouring One bite at a time
