Keep It At Bay Lyrics

Sometimes it's hard to sing a bright song
When the world outside's so dark
And it's hard to keep our hopes up
When we know it's gonna break our hearts
But sometimes when I'm singing
And I'm singing with my friends
Well I feel like we are warriors
We are wizards we will win

But outside the walls of this place
Someone's given up on life
They're well beyond our voices range
And when this night is through we've all
Got demons left to face
We all do what we can do
To keep them at bay

Now you can find a lover
You can make them your best friend
You can lay in bed all day
And you can kiss all over them
Then the world outside will shimmer
Then the world outside will shine
Every song that you hear sung
Will be beautiful and bright
But the stray cats will still be starving
And the bodies will still be falling into graves And the darkness will be waiting
Out there in the shadows
We all do what we can do
To keep it at bay

Or you can get a job
And you can lose yourself in work
You can buy the things you want
And say “my boss is such a jerk”
And then you can pretend
You got it all under control
You can work hard every week
And on the weekends you let go

But you'll feel that monster in your closet
And you will know that it is gonna
Come for you one day
So you can turn up your TV
You can pour yourself a drink
We all do what we can do
To keep it at bay

Tonight I will sing as loud as I can
Keep away keep away keep away keep away
For tonight we will fight
And tonight we will win
We will keep the darkness at bay
We will keep the darkness at bay
