hot as day

when the sun is its most bright

stare into its light

do not close your eyes

let it burn into your mind

then look left look right

let it make you blind

oh

isn't that a fright

burned into eternal night

that someone decides is right

when the days run long and late

darkness brings me pause while i lie awake

sleep is never long enough

lying in this heat

i forget to breathe

oh

isn't that the way

sun itself himself away

still

it's hot as day
