The Dusk in Us

And at night they come, when protectors are gone

Not in waves, but in shadows

Prancing on the wall, creeping up the bed

It's there they thrive and nest within

Dear frightened little boy, it's time to rise above all of their noise

Ghosts are merely shadows, you are flesh and bone

The grudge does not have regrets when there is no past to forget

Our denial it speaks in tongues, there's monsters among us

And at dawn they'll go with the last shred of hope

Someday it'll change, or so they say

Just bide your time and try to stay alive

Revenge will come with the rising sun

Dear shattered little girl, this is not the end of your world

It's the beginning of the rest of your life where you do, or you die

It's not a trial but a test, just a broken mirror to reflect

Our denial it speaks in tongues, there's monsters among us

I ask from within my heart, where did our failures start

If we must imagine ourselves as someone, somewhere else

And what does the future hold, if we're running low on health and hope

Our denial it speaks in tongues, there's monsters among us

Dusk lives within us, darkness won't give up

Dusk in us
