Elephants

[Verse 1]
Under blankets these hills cover neatly
We’ll take steps to make sure our failures are hidden
But it’s hard when our voices echo over ripples
That form on the lakes and the edges they prey on

[Chorus]
We'll shine, shine, shine
We'll shine, shine, shine
We'll shine, shine, shine
We'll shine, shine, shine

[Verse 2]
Swim around the lake, hoping like hell
We'll find shelter in coal mines incubating lies
Fathers and families, hammers and ties
Brace for the winter until that rumble leapt up to his jaws

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Spines of furrowed earth jut jagged as they rise
Like welts up on our backs, on our bellies
It's cold as the lord in the bedroom, lord at your feet
The lords shaking the headboard with nothing to eat

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Cold, restless, stumbles, wanders towards the light
That breaks out from the town, little homes bearing sheriffs
Playing across drifts to the back of the brain
Where they flicker like fire, speaking of times that they shined

[Chorus][X2]
