Sweet Resistance - Civil Twilight

We can’t grow without getting old

We can’t purchase bravery with gold

All of the dreams that we face

Before the morning glow

Need darkness before they show

Comfort is overrated

Give me something faded

I’ve spent my life asleep

I want sweet resistance

I spent the night outside your door in the darkest evening

And in the morning you pushed me away and gave me no reason

But all of the ways that you run

All of the ways that you keep it going

I can’t get enough

Cause when all is said and done

You can lay me down on a bed of sun

And I will accept my fate

As I pass through that gate

And all of the reasons why I felt alive in the first place

Will be in the next age

As I turn that page

Into another beautiful stage

Of sweet resistance

Comfort is overrated

Giving me something faded
