In This Twilight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Watch the sun
As it crawls across a final time
And it feels like
Like it was a friend

If it's watching us
And the world we set on fire
Do you wonder
If it feels the same?

[Chorus 1]
And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
As your time is running out
Let me take away your doubt
You can find a better place
In this twilight

[Verse 2]
Dust to dust
Ashes in your hair remind me
What it feels like
And I won't feel again
Night descends
Could I have been a better person
If I could only
Do it all again
[Chorus 2]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The song’s chorus features a bass guitar through a guitar amp with the gain and volume of the amp turned up very loud. Reznor’s vocals are somewhat further back in the mix to highlight the haunting aspect of the song’s instrumental parts.
