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
