[Silence]
[Instrumental Intro: sly psychedelic guitar, bouncing bass, dry snare, playful organ]
[Verse 1]
There it is
(There it was)
Nothing hidden
(Our “because”)
Standing right there
(In the light)
The plight of might
(In plain sight)
[Refrain]
In broad daylight
(Hidden in plain sight)
There’s no need
(To bleed to concede)
No surprise…
(Right before our eyes)
It’s what we do
(Me and you)
What we did…
(Would you call it:)
Splendid?
[Verse 2]
Read the writing
(On the wall)
Hear the warning
(Watch the fall)
[Refrain]
In broad daylight
(Hidden in plain sight)
There’s no need
(To bleed to concede)
No surprise…
(Right before our eyes)
It’s what we do
(Me and you)
What we did…
(Would you call it:)
Splendid?
[Bridge]
Feedback calling
(Back again)
Round and round
(Where does it end?)
No conspiracy
(No disguise)
Just consequences
(Before our eyes)
And the strangest part…
(Deep in our heart…)
We already knew.
(No, there’s nothing new.)
Know we already knew!
[Instrumental Break: psychedelic guitar riff, organ stabs, handclaps]
What was shocking
(Becomes normal)
What was abnormal
(Becomes formal)
And we wonder
(How’d we get here?)
While the answer
(Is perfectly clear)
[Pre-Chorus]
No surprise
(Right before our eyes)
No mystery
(Just reality)
[Refrain]
In broad daylight
(Hidden in plain sight)
There’s no need
(To bleed to concede)
No surprise…
(Right before our eyes)
It’s what we do
(Me and you)
What we did…
(Would you call it:)
Splendid?
[Verse 5]
Maybe splendid
(Is the word)
For the clever
(And absurd)
Build it higher
(Build it fast)
Make tomorrow
(Look like past)
Take the warning
(Shake it loose)
Make the future
(Our excuse)
Then when consequences
(come around)
Ask who made
(The awful sound?)
Was it nature?
(Was it fate?)
Was it someone
(Too damn late?)
Or was it us
(Me and you)
Doing what we
(Always do?)
[Final Chorus]
In broad daylight
(Hidden in plain sight)
No surprise
(Right before our eyes)
What we choose
(What we lose)
What we make
(What we break)
All the things
(We can’t undo)
All the things
(Me and you)
[Final Refrain]
In broad daylight
(Hidden in plain sight)
There’s no need
(To bleed to concede)
No surprise…
(Right before our eyes)
Is what we do
(Me and you)
What we did…
(Would you call it:)
Splendid?
[Outro]
Hidden…
(In plain sight)
Nothing hidden…
(Just our slight)
Look again…
(No more “begin”…)
[Silence]
[End]
