THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG:
Many of you know the story of my lifelong struggle with social phobia/anxiety & agoraphobia.  In recent years as I've gained tools to slowly overcome these issues, I've become painfully aware how devastatingly critical I've been of myself...condemning my looks, abilities & actions at every turn.  I would look in the mirror & pick out everything I didn't like & by the end of it all I would hate myself & feel grossly unattractive.  I would quite literally feel like the elephant man...grotesque & unworthy.  I've learned in recent years to love myself & be thankful for all I have including my imperfections.  I think wether you've struggled with this sort of thing to the extent I have or not, we can all relate to feeling like we're not enough.  But truth is, we are all more than enough...we just have to remind ourselves every single day.  Love yourself first & others will too!  Peace.
-Chris

LYRICS
"Elephant Man"
© 2014 musichris publishing (ascap)
Elephant Man 
Looking at you in the mirror
There's no wonderland 
Or Alice that would have you
Detestable man 
From every brutal, blemished angle
Your head in the sand 
So they wont laugh at you
  
(chorus)
When you
Love you
Everybody else can too
So fall in love tonight

Elephant Man 
Missing out on all the beauty
So certain that 
The world see's a beast
Could it be that 
The only one who see's a monster
Is the Elephant Man 
Blinded by belief

(repeat chorus)
