lyrics

"Hiding in Plain Sight"

Look in the background something is astir,
Oh look what I found a patch of matted fur,
A rusty ball of tangled up barbed wire,
All packaged up inside a threadbare tire

You'd be surprised what you can find,
Only if you use you're eyes

Hiding in plain sight, putting up a fight all year,
We all know how hard it is to do nothing,
I said I need a break, you said that
I should take what I need,
After all we've seen
we know what it's like to feel something

Do you think we can fit it all the way upstairs,
I believe it'll make it
gonna have to move some chairs,
Stepping over the clutter
for fear of making a sound,
All the way from the bedroom
I can hear your heart pound

You'd be surprised what you can feel,
Can we just make a deal?**

This could have been easy,
We could have made a list,
The weight of the thing has
made you put up your fists,
We're all a bit edgy,
We're all a bit scared,
But it's not all worry and despair

Hiding in plain sight, putting up a fight all year,
We all know how hard it is to do nothing,
I said I need a break, you said that
I should take what I need,
After all we've seen
we know what it's like to feel something
