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
