Lyrics Daylight - Joey Cape

Daylight

Hey, wake up
You really ought to sleep
Bow to daylight
The character of fiend
But here in the night, the starkest light preys on everyone
Ears to the ground, lines are down
Forty winks till' you’re gone
Hey, say uncle
They’ll wipe you with the floor all day long
Non-believers believe in something more
But here in the night, the starkest light preys on everyone
Painful pretense, indifference
Pretending you’re numb
But here in the night, the starkest light preys on everyone
Lucid, deranged, elusive stage
Children basking in the midnight sun
Counting backwards to a zero sum
