Elephant

Let me explain there is something here taking up a lot of room
I look away but it’s obvious this thing needs to be removed
There is an elephant
In this room I reside in
With you my friend
But I cannot begin
To find the safest means
Of approaching this problem
But hey that’s okay
I’ll just look to the right
And pass this buck all night
'Cause I don’t want the blame
While brewing a stew
In a pot on a stove sure
Guilt would be boiling over
But I won’t clean the stains
I’m sure somebody out there may suggest a better way to deal with this
But my response would be thanks for the interest but my way is the easiest
While baking a pie
In an oven on high heat
'Til the smoke alarm alerts me
I’d eat it all the same
'Cause I deserve the worst punishment one serves
I’m guilty for my silence my lack of words a simple crime
That burns me from the inside
This fire in my lungs will soon burn this tie
What have I done
And I wouldn’t feel so bad
If I sucked it up since all
Of that which we used to have
Was something so special
But I looked to the right
And passed that buck all night
'Cause I don’t have the guts
So I’ll pack my bag
Full of black and burnt charcoal
As I’ve sentenced myself so
And eat my so-called lunch
