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

[@sympathyforthedevil1553]

This track recounts the first steps in self-acceptance and how being at peace with your inner darkness first requires you to embrace it & shine a light into the parts of you that you choose to hide.

Yes it does!
