In this Twilight

watch the sun
as it crawls across a final time
and it feels like
like it was a friend
if its watching us
and the world we set on fire
do you wonder
if it feels the same?

and the sky is filled with light
can you see it?
all the black is really white
if you believe it
as the time is running out
let me take away your doubt
we can find a better place
in this twilight

dust to dust
ashes in your hair remind me
what it feels like
and i wont feel again
night descends
could i have been a better person?
if i could only
do it all again

but the sky is filled with light
can you see it?
all the black is really white
if you believe it
and the longing that you feel
you know none of this is real
we will find a better place
in this twilight
