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
