Artist: Radiation 4
Song: John Vs. The Elephant

John wiped away the steamy mirror
"Oh thanks god".. and proceeded to get ready for the taunts
he would face alone

Meet John Merrick..
he toyed with elephants that consumed his whole
body with imperfections
feared by the school queens.. he kept his head down
ran through the crowds of laughter, embarrassed
and he screamed, "STOP TEASING ME"

His dream was to be held by another
"you're too ugly to hold, to ugly to love"
he held the up most beauty in his heart.
He got swept up beneath the city

John left the town, in search of elephants that stomped his body
that left him with a life of humiliations.
They were nowhere to be found
last night he looked deep inside, and found out the answers to why

his tears caused the flood in which he sailed down
for years.. he found a piece of land
where he was sure to live alone.
but, he met many more like himself that sailed down the very same flood

John still dreamt of the life he wanted, over and over again.

Make me feel like a man should..
I am John Merrick
