The Twilight (Vocal Tracks)

The Twilight (2025 Singles)

A track myself and Alex Carroll worked on for Christmas this year. It's a bit late making it onto the web, but... better late than never, right?

"Winter's Eve Lullaby" is a song about finding peace in yourself even if you're lost on the outside.

(guest vocals and additional composition - Alex Carroll, a.k.a. Syndroversion)

Lyrics
---------
Boots in the snow,
my destination unknown.
The world is at my feet.
I don't know where I'm going.

Walking under snowy skies, I've come...
come to realize
that my life is passing by
in time with my stride.

So I pause, stop to catch my breath (catch my breath)
and it gives me a chance to admire (I pause, catch my breath)
the way the snowflakes glow beneath streetlights. (then I hear)
On this winter's eve (a melody)
I only hear my heartbeat (I feel at peace)

And it sings me to sleep (Life is passing by)
It's the lullaby (with my stride)
for the times I'm lost and tired (I know)
I know I'll be fine (I'll be fine)

Winter's Eve Lullaby (ft. Syndroversion)

Happy Anniversary.

Lyrics
------
The night grows old.
It's half past four,
but I find I can sleep no more.
Instead, I sit up late
and contemplate
all the things I cannot change.
I write all these songs--
melodic marathons,
but their notes won't keep me going.
We grew apart.
I should restart;
instead I've fallen at the gunshot.

The company
I keep tonight
are memories of better times.
I'm lying here
alone tonight,
but now you're gone
and I can't move on.
The diary in my mind
of you and I...
it's all that's left
after "we" died.
I know you're gone,
but I still hold on.

And so it goes
night after night.
I can't get out of my head.
I know I need to start the race,
but I can't leave this place.
Your face fills my empty spaces.
How can I let go
just to watch my hopes
run away
further and further each day?
I walk outside
into the full moonlight.
I wonder if you think about me at all.

The winter air
forces me inside.
The tears that coat my face
are bleeding from my eyes.
I caused my own demise
when I broke your heart.
Our phoenix burnt out bright
the day our knot untied.

The company
I keep tonight
are memories of better times.
I'm lying here
alone tonight,
but now you're gone
I've got to move on.
The diary in my mind
of you and I...
I'll hold it close,
use it to grow.
I hope you know
I won't forget you. (I'll always love you)

LYRICS
----------
Please answer
as I speak
through the static.
Just hear me.
You're the one
that I seek,
but the one that I can't reach.
I swear you're all I need,
so dial me.
You're all I need.

The line is ringing,
but it can't find a connection.
There must be something in the airwaves
that's stopping the call from completing.
We're experiencing interference.
...or perhaps it's simpler than that.
You can't hang up having never answered.
Maybe you don't want to hurt me.
I fear the silence,
but I'm still going to listen
with the receiver to my ear.

Say something.
Oh, let me know you're there.
If you will not respond,
I feel it's all too clear
that, at least for you,
our time's run out,
but I'll wait on the line
until my battery dies.
Tell me, dear,
how did I do you wrong?
I'll do whatever it takes
to get you back in my arms.
If I can just repent
for what I've done,
the frequencies of our hearts
could harmonize again.

This was not how I thought we would part.
It's so impersonal.
Voicemail's how we talk.
You're all I need,
so dial me.
Oh yeah, yeah. Girl, just dial me.

You won't say a word.
It's like we never were.
Why won't you answer me,
acknowledge words I speak?
Your silence is deafening,
completely fills my ears,
and now it's all I hear.
I'll go to sleep tonight
with no one by my side.
I've made so many mistakes,
but you will always be my
deepest regret.
I wish I'd never let you go,
but you don't want to know.

This was not how I thought this would go.
I can't make you come home
talking on the phone.
You're all I need,
my lungs to breathe.

Exo-Shield

In the spring of 2014, Andy and Brandon went on a late-night walk through a neighborhood near their college campus, eventually finding themselves lying on their backs in the grassy center of a roundabout, talking about life. On February 14th of the following year, they shared their first piece of music together as Roundabouts. “Island in the Stars” is a recollection of that nascent memory and serves as an ode to a decade of Roundabouts.

The monologue originates from the second paragraph of a creative writing piece Brandon wrote in April 2015 called “Sunbeam Dust...”. The coordinates Andy recites belong to that very same roundabout in Whitewater, Wisconsin.

Read “Sunbeam Dust...”:

F dorian, 110 BPM

Lyrics

It was a year since we returned to the island. He and I left home and cut through the university, heading toward the field. They had burned the grass, and everything but the worn-down path was blackened more than the night. Who “they” were is unclear. We found our way to a streetlamp neighborhood, following the same path past those same lighted windows, while creatures—hiding in plain sight—watched with tentative ease. Once we arrived to our roundabout island, we reclaimed our dominance and lay in the center of our land. The sky’s horizon split two shades of blue as contrails cut a gaping fragment through the suburban stars. The moon was near perfection, outshining the tall and creaking incandescent watch-lights. Our motionsick eyes made us believe a planet above shivered and crawled, but it never truly moved from the heavens. And as we lay there, sprawled carelessly in the convalescing grass, we were silent. We let the passing wind speak for us. We were the transitory rulers of time.

On Hold

Brandon and I are back again with another track--this time, a cover of Twenty One Pilots' amazing track, "Truce". No matter how bad things get... don't give up.

Lyrics:
Now the night is coming to an end.
The sun will rise and we will try again.

Stay alive, stay alive for me.
You will die, but now your life is free.
Take pride in what is sure to die.

I will fear the night again.
I hope I'm not my only friend.

Stay alive, stay alive for me.
You will die, but now your life is free.
Take pride in what is sure to die.

Sequel to “roots.” (released 13 January 2024)
https://soundcloud.com/the-twilight/roots

G minor, 152 BPM

Lyrics
-----
[Verse 1]
Zip up my jacket
and lace up my boots.
I’m leaving my neighborhood,
unearthing my roots
burrowed deep in the solitude.

[Chorus]
Sunsets and streetlamps, they set me in motion
when the world is dark.
Footsteps are dampened by snow on the pavement,
but they leave their mark.
Sunsets and streetlamps, they lead me to peace
in a quiet park.
Cascade beyond this place I’ve stood.
Solace dwells in winter wood.
Find tranquility. Can’t wait to embark.

[Verse 2]
I gotta believe somewhere is out there.
Travel the miles to escape this nightmare.
Take it off-road when the path is frozen.
I gotta believe in truth or dare
cuz the truth is that I’m empty here.
Branching out before I wilt from erosion.

[Chorus]

[Outro]
I embark to wherever my feet may take me.
Only thing left to do is grow.
Plant roots in a new home...

Lyrics
-----
Wade in the water just to pass the time,
waiting in the shallows as they slowly rise.
I used to know your current–
how it would ebb and flow with mine,
lost in my ocean eyes–
Anchor me in the moment

as I slip a little deeper just to pass the time,
sinking to my knees as the shallows rise.
Sand castle walls are broken–
so empty inside.
Salt in the wounds, and the structure cries.
Memories swept away in reply.

I breathe in the water to the rhythm of the tide.
You sink in the deep, shallows far behind.
Caught up in my current
In the ebb and flow, you’re mine.
Rest in my ocean eyes,
anchored in the moment.

Open your eyes, open your eyes...
Till you open your eyes,
I’ll keep singing for you... (Open your eyes, open your eyes)
I’ll keep singing for you,
singing for you, singing...

Lyrics:
-----
(verse 1)
There's a war inside my head.
Sometimes I wish that I was dead.
I'm broken.
So I call this therapist,
and she said, "Girl, you can't be fixed.
Just take this."

(pre-chorus)
I'm tired of trying to be normal.
I'm always overthinking.
I'm driving myself crazy.
So what if I'm fucking crazy?
And I don't need your quick fix.
I don't want your prescriptions
just 'cause you say I'm crazy.
So what if I'm fucking crazy?
Yeah, I'm gonna show you.

(chorus)
Loco, maniac, sick bitch, psychopath.
Yeah, I'm gonna show you,
I'm gonna show you.
I'm gonna show you
mental, out my brain,
bat-shit, go insane.
Yeah, I'm gonna show you,
I'm gonna show you.
I'm gonna show you.

(verse 2)
I've been searching city streets
trying to find the missing piece
like you said,
and I searched hard only to find
there's not a single thing that's wrong
with my mind.

(pre-chorus)

Lyrics

(The Twilight)

If my tears served no purpose,
would those years become worthless?
I’m dragging a sunk-cost fallacy
around like my coffin.
Pick the scab so it stays open.
Nothing like a life lived hopeless.
Forgive myself? I’d rather bleed it out.
Lower me down...

If memory is meant to be temporary,
why are you always on my mind?
You find a way every day to break me.
How do I fix my soul when it’s misaligned?

Give it another ten thousand days.
Stare up at the clock and wait, yeah,
and just accept my fate. (Fate, fate, fate, fate...)
Yeah, I’ve got one foot in the present day;
dip a toe into my grave.
Is there a sanctuary down there? (Down there...)
If I lay away the pain I’ve been carrying
and then forget you,
would my suffering become arbitrary?

Started livin’ like I’m ancillary.
Obituary feelin’ necessary.
Claim a couple beneficiaries.
Pickin’ out a simple ossuary.
Paradigm shifts to the funerary.
Buried in the depths of a cemetery.
Dwellin’ on the end can get very scary.
I’m just here to offer up some commentary.

If memory is meant to be temporary,
why are you always on my mind?
You find a way every day to break me.
How do I fix my soul when it’s misaligned?
