Proving Ground - Lyrics - Vigilantes Of Love

You attempt to board the train Though the car is full of liars Recognize the tendency You're the great compromiser Suppose sooner or later We're all just survivors Prayer become the heart's lost words When you're too close to the fire If you get a patch of ground Well it's there you draw your plan If you get a soap box It's there you take your stand All the kingdoms that rise up They collapse without a sound Yeah the driving rain is cleansing Driving rain is cleansing Driving rain is cleansing Out here on this proving ground Well I remember the summer Shimmer in the laughter We were lying to each other About what we were after And I'll admit that just perhaps Judgment is too stern When your dreams have long been buried And your bridges they're all burned Hear that there are secrets Told that there are maps Ah but everyone we've been privy to Has closed on us like a steel trap Leaves you full and noble Dreams you never lost them Stays with you forever Long time after you're forgotten
