I'm All About the Dusk

Leave for the night

And paint the stars

Leave for the night

Collecting scars

Remember me?

I’m back and I missed you

The dead travel fast

Meet me above the pines

Where I’ll become a crow

Resting in the crowns of trees

Collecting their souls my dear

The souls of the people I once loved

My whole life’s an uprising

One burial after another

Now would you wear this crown for me?

This diadem of dead stars?!

'Cause I’ve become the thorns in my crown

Now let me grow your wounded king

Collecting the names of my loved ones

As scars carved to my chest

Living in the memory of a love that died

Once smashed to pieces in the still of a night

Living for the memory of a love that died

Still searching for stars in a cloudy and rainy night

And we stray through infinite nothing

Always haunted by our deadweight dreams

And it feels and seems as though

Something’s still gnawing at my heart

Also, the sadness is meant to last forever

And darkness soon will become salvation

Never underestimate the allure of darkness

'Cause even the purest of hearts are drawn to it

I can’t leave the night

'Cause night smells different

When the day comes close

Reaches out for my hand

But I can’t leave the night

I’m all about the dusk

And a life that’s always longing

Take me far beyond the stars

Where my heart was always longing

I belong to twilight and mist

And always did so

I’m back and I missed you

I’m all about the dusk

I’m all about the dusk

Leave for the night and paint the stars

Leave for the night, keep drowning the light

For my life that’s always doubting

For my heart that’s always doubting

For my doubting heart
