The Curse Lyrics by Defences

Shadowlight

2024

[Verse 1: Cherry Duesbury]
It's not fair, no
They don't care, no
Didn't get to say it
'Cus it's already been said
Like someone found the password
To the vaults inside my head
[Refrain: William Alex Young, Cherry Duesbury]
What am I missing?
Did I make this up?
Always a few steps behind
Like we're all out of luck
When every path we find
Sees us fall into line
It's not hard to see why we keep losing our lifelines
[Pre-Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]
But still we try
[Chorus: Cherry Duesbury, William Alex Young, both]
Just feels like something isn't right
Can't help but wonder
If I messed up in another life
Is this bad luck or are we
Just living in a nightmare?
(Living in a nightmare?)
Just give it up, been long enough
Can anybody tell mе what we're doing wrong?
Is it just bad luck?
I can't keep living in a nightmare
Living in a nightmarе
[Verse 2: Cherry Duesbury]
Guess we're playing the underdog
We got something to prove
Guess we're doing this the hard way
We got nothing to lose
[Refrain: William Alex Young, Cherry Duesbury]
But I'm afraid
This is a curse I can't break
A toll I can't take
A hex that I can't shake
Didn't get to do it
'Cus it's already been done
Maybe next time
Better think of another one
[Pre-Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]
And still I try
[Chorus: Cherry Duesbury, William Alex Young, both]
Just feels like something isn't right
Can't help but wonder
If I messed up in another life
Is this bad luck or are we
Just living in a nightmare?
(Living in a nightmare?)
Just give it up, been long enough
Can anybody tell me what we're doing wrong?
Is it just bad luck?
I can't keep living in a nightmare
Living in a nightmare
[Bridge: Cherry Duesbury, William Alex Young]
And we work so hard
Just to get left in (the dark)
Just to do it all over again
Just to follow the trends
[Breakdown: William Alex Young]
Still we work so hard
Just to get left in the dark
Will they ever see us for who we really are?
No time to wonder when we've come so far
[Chorus: Cherry Duesbury, William Alex Young, both]
Just feels like something isn't right (Something isn't right)
Can't help but wonder
If I messed up in another life
Is this bad luck or are we
Just living in a nightmare?
(Living in a nightmare?)
Just give it up, been long enough
Can anybody tell me what we're doing wrong?
Is it just bad luck?
I can't keep living in a nightmare
Living in a nightmare
Living in a nightmare
