What Elephant? - Well Gone Dry (feat. Rose Daniels)

These faces I borrow
It's like it's out of my hands
I'm drinking where the well
Has gone dry
And I get to worrying
That I'm someone else
So I start thinking up alibis
Times wear on uncertain
Whether I'm dying
Or I'm keeping alive
Just don't put out
My cigarette
It's easy when
It's getting me high
Woah it's easy
When it's getting me high
Is it really easier
Or is that just what
You're telling yourself?
Is it easy when
The well's gone dry?
Looking up at the sun
As it's burning my eyes
Scraping at the earth
As She cried
For just a little drop
Of inspiration that
We can provide
Suckling at Her bosom
For any drop of life
But it took me
On a trip across the ethers
With no spaceship in sight
With no ease to my mind
With no end to the lies
That I've been telling myself
And now I'm fiend out
To an earth bound to die
Cook it up in a pot
Feed it to the masses
In the hopes that it stops
Awakening the masses
As the greatest debating
Has taken on morbid forms
Of misshapen-ing
What's happening
My route has become
Trauma mapping
Cyclic revolving
Ending right where I start
So I light up a spark
And disappear once again
Feeling as good as it gets
As the darkness of thoughts
Start feeding off my soul
Since they don't see
The light of day no more
Inside of my head
As depression has been
Dressing me in these
Threads of despair
But I just push and suppress
Which just feeds my inner stress
But I don't really know
How to care
No I don't really know
How to care
Sometimes I just wanna disappear
Sometimes I just wanna disappear
This caustic lie told
To pacify the higher state
A cycle I cannot escape
Who's in control?
This empty smile
Just a fragment of a broken life
An image I can hide behind
As I disappear
This faith you sold out
For the vision that you had of me
This idol of my vanity
To worship and hate
This endless night
I projected on the firmament
Seen it through the pinhole
At the bottom of the well
