Ode to Dusk Lyrics

I only see the future with one eye
I'm chilled I'm shaking I'm barely scraping by
the atmosphere is angered by my breath
the hills glow red as we dance our way to death

how am I supposed to live
never getting what I give

A quiet thief runs rampant through the trees
the soft caress of fingers of fingers under sheets
the dusk seeps in through creases in my home
the needle pierces marrow blood and bone

can't go without can't go within
I'm not cut out for breaking skin

Trim the edges cut the cord
are we doomed or are we just bored

I only see the future with one eye
I'm chilled I'm shaking I'm sick of scraping by

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
