Damn, I cannot understand what the hell he's saying. I tried to add some but it's not much.
Drain the lake
Find the owner of the voice
Zip in the bag
And drop off across the noise
Examine the hairline
As archives in the strands
You’re telling me something
That puts the weakness in my hands
I see, but I suppose
I breathe, but I dispose
Black wheels turn yellow in the sand
I steal every idea that I can
Should I question the shadows in the lake?
Should I question, she moves aside her (something/lace?)
Wtf
I reach corrosion and sink here to die
Wilson was heavily inspired by Mexico and Mexican culture as he was creating this album. I think this song examines how inspiration can sometimes resemble and feel like stealing. The title, well, perhaps twilight is kind of like the gray middle between black and white. There is no murky gray in the courts of the sun. There is only a right and a wrong side in these... courts. The courts of his mind? Either the ideas are stolen or they're not. I don't know.
"Drain the lake, find the owner of the voice" He drains this lake, which is like a well of ideas. He finds the owner of the voice that has been inspiring him.
"Zip in the bag and drop off across the noise" Um, he zips up his bag of ideas he has stolen? Then he runs away I guess.
"Examine the hairline as archives in the strands" I don't know about the rest of the song but this is a beautiful line. He examines his hairline, thinking about how much he has aged and ponders how the strands of hair are like archives of his life.
"You’re telling me something that puts the weakness in my hands" Pretty straightforward, someone tells him something that makes him weak. Probably someone reveals to him that he is stealing ideas.
"I see but I suppose. I breathe but I dispose" Hm, he sees things and supposes from them, finds inspiration. He breaths but then disposes of those ideas?
"Black wheels turn yellow in the sand. I steal every idea that I can" Well, Mexico is a very dry place in certain areas so this image is probably inspired by driving through the desert as he goes through Mexico. Then he comes out and says it, he steals every idea he can.
(I could be completely wrong on these next few lyrics)
"Should I question the shadows in the lake?" Should he question the inspiration he receives from these places.
"Should I question, she moves aside her (something/lace?)" Maybe, oh this is a stretch, should he question these ideas when they (she) reveal themselves to be stolen? (Moves aside her lace like a mask to reveal the truth).
No fuckin' clue what he says here, something about a car?
"I reach corrosion and sink here to die" Straightforward. He can't take this anymore and lays down to die.

In the part of the car I can hear about DYING IN A CAR... we should work on this song because it's very mysterious and it is worth it
