Remains of Elephants

from Real Snow by Kye Alfred Hillig

/

lyrics

You can wear a mask: A wedding ring
Maybe if you hide your face your life won't mean anything
Some dead remains: You look away
Oh, I cannot carry you; I don't think I have the strength

Don't you ever shelter me: I'll survive
Some of these days just leave me weak: but that's just life
Lord knows where you will lead your faking light
Just 'cause it's dark outside don't mean it's night

You grab a drink: You sleep around
The years go by and the one you love you never found
You talk to God: You hope he's home
You put a rifle in your mouth & leave your lovely wife & kids alone

Q: What remains of elephants?
Q: Some neutered tusks turned into keys?
Well, you can make that piano sing
or you can die tangled in its strings
