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