lyrics

Racing to assemble what we need to pass the time

Oh you who look to windward have you seen a darker sky?

Taking on a gamble as we walk along the wall

And those who turn the wheel are standing waiting for the call

Living in the shadow of foreboding orange light

Creeping into focus as the day falls into night

Trying to fight the feeling that our luck’s about to change

The steep side of the curve is quickly sliding out of range

Hold for a reason not to change my point of view

Stare at the ceiling as the false becomes the true

Try to remember what it takes to compromise

But looking to the East I get that sunlight in my eyes

A white whale is stranded on the beach inside the bay

A cargo plane has landed as the pale turns into grey

Harking to an era when my grandpa went to war

Now I’m lying on the couch and playing soldiers on the floor

Hold for a reason not to change my point of view

Stare at the ceiling as the false becomes the true

Try to remember what it takes to compromise

But looking to the East I get that sunlight in my eyes
