Elijah

Elijah weeps to the pavement

Hands outstretched and worn

Everyday is getting harder

But what does it matter

She says my love

Oh could you help me

But it resolves to nothing

Her words cry out

Like a flock of black birds

She says could you spare....

But he doesnt bother

Fallen once

Now falling faster

Well dissolve to laughter

cause were all here

But hardly notice

Were not getting better

I wake up early

Grab my things and Im out the door

Everyday Im working harder

To keep up the payments

And the rise and the fall

Up above the carpet clouds

Perspective changes

cause were wrestling over tiny matters

The majesty

Of all we forget

Im stuck on a jet plane

And I remember

Fallen once

Now falling faster

Well dissolve to laughter

cause were all here

But hardly notice

Were not getting better

The sky is screaming

Weve taken over

So self-important and overdone

Some believe

That were all angels

But we dont remember
