It's been twelve days, and once again
in through the door strolls our oldest friend.
Jokes crash and burn, smiles fade away
nothing will help, so nothing we say.
So we dance around the elephant in the room
trying to avoid the impending doom.
Nervous hands, stare at the floor,
the elephant is here, and we'll dance some more.
We carry on, it might go away
though we know better, the same game we play.
Light for the kids, under grey cloud
eye contact gone, now much to proud.
So we dance around the elephant in the room
trying to avoid the impending doom.
Nervous hands, stare at the floor,
the elephant is here, and we'll dance some more.
No chance of joking, no words are spoken, peace talks have broken down.
Can't dance forever, time adds a stressor, hopeless endeavor now.
Shore up defenses, ignore all senses, hard consequences wait.
The pain is coming, no use in running, when's the first swing?
Gone for a while, never for good
laughter is back, we act as we should.
Smiles all around, but it never ends,
partner returns, and we'll dance again.
So we dance around the elephant in the room
trying to avoid the impending doom.
Nervous hands, stare at the floor,
the elephant is here, and we'll dance some more.
I now work alone, puttering with what I have and record to computer. I love writing but have a hard time actually recording. It's a fun process, even if no one really hears these songs.
