lyrics

you lost your faith in patience for answers too ready and neat
the gift that keeps on giving’s the one you chose not to keep

stepping aside with too much to hide from all that’s yet to be
pieces of sky pouring out of your eyes on everything you see

you made a pact with glamour, its promise as slick as its price
the will to bear honest witness is the zone of first sacrifice

surviving the heat of the day
the heat of the day

the shadows all lie extinguished and litter floor of the cave
the rules sure weren’t made for winning but cripple the whole field of play

wander outside, there’s no way to hide from all that’s yet to be
pieces of sky pouring out of your eyes on everything you see

surviving the heat of the day
the heat of the day
