Etch-a-sketch in reverse

You come into focus when I’m shaken up worst

My unknown creation

I couldn’t find you, so you came to me first.

Remaining protected

Your outline gets lost in the walls I’ve erected

You never forget

I’ll never forgive, as long as you live.

You’re as old as me, you cry like me

If I broke your heart, you’d die like me

You’re the elephant in the room

And I see you, I see you

I know I sustain you

You’ve grown to a size where I can not contain you

I wish I could blame you

But how can I do that, when I can’t even name you

I’m the ringmaster

The more I believe that, you grow even faster

I choose not to see you

I choose not to free you

You’re as old as me, you cry like me

If I broke your heart, you’d die like me

You’re the elephant in the room

And I see you, I see you

I have found a ladder and upon it we see eye to eye

Maybe if I climb abord your back and we rode out the door

The power that I gave you will be gone and you’d no longer be

The elephant in the room

You’re as old as me, you cry like me

If I broke your heart, you’d die like me

You’re the elephant in the room

And I see you, I see you
