Defences - Gold In The Dark Lyrics

We let ourselves fall victim
Plead ignorance to a hex without a cure
What lies behind, so easily ignored

Cus we all have trauma
We all have pain
And it's easy to just want to push it away
But it doesn't define you
It's not gonna leave
Can we look in the mirror
Accept what we see?

And this is what I see

We're spending all our lives
Trying to cover up all the demons in our minds
But I'm facing mine
If we forget it, does that make it better?
Keep it on the low, or heal it forever?
I'm giving in to my
My dark side

It's the looming dread
It's the anxiety
It's the source of all our negativity
Did I deserve this?
Am I worthless?
Who am I honouring by living with these curses?

Living with these curses
Why are we living with this?

And it's okay to want to stay away, stay away
I can live in the light if I want to
But the darkness will still have its day
It will have its day

We're spending all our lives
Trying to cover up all the demons in our minds
But I'm facing mine
If we forget it, does that make it better?
Keep it on the low, or heal it forever?
I'm giving in to my
My dark side


The brightest light can't shine because I'm terrified to find the gold in the dark
The brightest light can't shine because I'm terrified to find the gold in the dark

Cus I've done the hiding thing
And it did no good for me
And I'm tired of struggling
With accepting all of me

No one else to blame
If we're the ones in our way

We're spending all our lives
Trying to cover up, we're trying to cover up
The demons in our minds
In our minds

We're spending all our lives
Trying to cover up all the demons in our minds
But I'm facing mine
If we forget it, does that make it better?
Keep it on the low, or heal it forever?
I'm giving in to my
My dark side

The brightest light can't shine because I'm terrified to find the gold in the dark
The brightest light can't shine because I'm terrified"
