Converge - The Dusk In Us Lyrics






And at night they come, when protectors are gone
Not in waves, but in shadows
Prancing on the wall, creeping up the bed
It's there they thrive and nest within
Dear frightened little boy, it's time to rise above all of their noise
Ghosts are merely shadows, you are flesh and bone
The grudge does not have regrets when there is no past to forget
Our denial it speaks in tongues, there's monsters among us
And at dawn they'll go with the last shred of hope
Someday it'll change, or so they say
Just bide your time and try to stay alive
Revenge will come with the rising sun
Dear shattered little girl, this is not the end of your world
It's the beginning of the rest of your life where you do, or you die
It's not a trial but a test, just a broken mirror to reflect
Our denial it speaks in tongues, there's monsters among us
I ask from within my heart, where did our failures start
If we must imagine ourselves as someone, somewhere else
And what does the future hold, if we're running low on health and hope
Our denial it speaks in tongues, there's monsters among us
Dusk lives within us, darkness won't give up
Dusk in us

Converge The Dusk In Us Comments
  1. 2.... m....

    This is my lullaby
    Amazing work!

  2. A.... M....

    mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm that epic sound when you are doubting your cognitive ability in the midst of a psychological research report

  3. R.... ....

    Masterpiece

  4. D.... L....

    DUSK LIVES WITHIN US!

  5. p.... b....

    Feels like the smiths

  6. A.... T....

    Unsurprisingly enough, Fantano is wrong

  7. e.... ....

    converge is the band that got me into hardcore music when this album was released, but haven't listened to any of their stuff since, but HOLY SHIT, this is good.

  8. F.... G....

    Rage, peur tristesse, doute... Tout pour faire du lourd. Converge addict 4ever

  9. d.... ....

    This songs reminds me to Pantera's "10's" (The Great Southern Trendkill). A lot.

  10. P.... P....

    Still haunts me..Epic.

  11. N.... O....

    So someone in Jane doe comments said if you start listening to Converge to listen to the Dusk in Us cause it’s more accessible and easier to get into. They were totally correct. Like this

  12. M.... N....

    best lyrics in 2017. absolutely touching and moving song

  13. r.... t....

    goosebumps!

  14. i.... ....

    as a long time converge fan since like 2003, this & 'a thousand miles between us' really are two of the best songs converge has ever written... (i can't even compare hem to old favorites like 'downpour' (and it's david lynch influence), or 'letterbomb,' because they're so different. but almost like them almost kinda..more. which is even more respectable.)

  15. P.... N....

    If you like this song you'll love Neurosis just saying

    P.... N....

    neurosis is kinda boring compared to this, just my opinion though

  16. X.... ....

    The lyrics.. another level satan shit

  17. S.... G....

    My body is a melted mess now.

  18. M.... N....

    This is the first Converge album I've ever heard. (I was way late to the party on this band.) But I was instantly hooked in by the intense, complex, abrasive and beautiful nuances contained in this album. I'm just blown away.

  19. T.... g....

    This has a post metal vibe

  20. C.... ....

    is this really jacob?

    C.... ....

    Of course he is....Sounds as usual doesn't he ? But yeah; him speaking and him singing couldn't be more different.

  21. L.... F....

    Damn. Goosebumps

  22. t.... ....

    Was debating if I should leave it at 666 likes

  23. s.... ....

    One more for 666... Do it.

  24. P.... B....

    For some reason this was the song last night people reacted the least too. I thought it was the highlight of the evening, actually more into this than their hardcore stuff. Anyone know an album that is nothing but stuff like this?

    P.... B....

    Patrick Bertlein everything from amenra

    P.... B....

    goth hostess, thank you so much for that amenra recommendation. i was just trying to remember their name the other day so i could give them a shot and they pretty much are this song in album form.

  25. s.... d....

    .Converge i LOVE you all. my perfect beloved demons

    s.... d....

    wow. that just hit. perfect beloved demons....i guess this is what I handle my whole live.
    thanks for putting it into words .

  26. T.... ....

    I hope the frightened little boy and the shattered little girl both find each other

    T.... ....

    that would be an unhealthy relationship. like 2 bordies

  27. B.... ....

    Album of the year

  28. P.... B....

    Can you believe that douche turkey needledrop guy criticized this song? This is absolutely brilliant!

    P.... B....

    Patrick Bertlein Fagtano?

  29. A.... B....

    So powerful

  30. T.... ....

    If anyone from the band reads this:

    Please know that this song touched me in a way that I needed to accept certain things and gave me strength to fight certain demons in my life.

    Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, I mean it. Thank you.

    T.... ....

    Same here

    T.... ....

    All the best, keep fighting

    T.... ....

    It’s a good song but I still wanna kill myself.

  31. S.... S....

    There will be classic...

  32. D.... L....

    How do you not like this track 0.o

  33. M.... T....

    Fact : any converge song over 7 minutes is automatically gold.

    M.... T....

    Matthew Tubman Fact: any Converge song is gold

    M.... T....

    I'll check that

  34. z.... ....

    anthony fantano listed this as his least favorite track. im sorry i had to unsubscribe.

    z.... ....

    Why do people pay attention to that guy?

    z.... ....

    zozobra Fagtano.

    z.... ....

    Patrick Bertlein the only reason I ever checked out Converge was because of him and I’m a huge fan of converge now

    z.... ....

    Fantano is a dipshit. His Steven Wilson reviews are bloody awful

    z.... ....

    he's just a guy with his own opinions and tastes it shouldn't effect your own taste or opinion. I live in one of the most backwoods bum fuck parts of the country, I've never met another human being irl who listens to or would ever even consider liking Converge... i still like Converge. i even revere the fact that most people would hate Converge if they heard it. It's like if you talk to someone about being depressed and that someone says they know how you feel, like been there done that, and it makes you feel even worse. liking this music is like my own little secret i get to keep to myself, it makes it that much more special. I doubt Fantano freaks out about another band, like he did with Deafheaven's Sunbather, cause it brings out the fake ass fuck boys. am i right or am i huh?

  35. J.... S....

    Find myself listening to this track the most frequently off the new album. Converge you always bring something new to each album, thanks for always being a staple I can rely on

  36. W.... S....

    So fucking sad. I actually came close to crying listening to this. This is a masterpiece, and if anyone from converge reads this, I hope you know just how fucking awesome this song, along with the rest of the album, is. Love from the Mountain School in Vermont!

  37. D.... B....

    Thank you Converge for your music! Gets us every time, really powerful, see you in TX!

  38. B.... M....

    la vida

  39. s.... s....

    Converge: technically and musically superlative, clever lyrics and true independent attitude.

  40. H.... S....

    Amazing / Perfect Song / Perfect Album.

  41. M.... ....

    You guys did it again. I can wait 5 more years for a new album, there's so much to love and digest about this! All my love and admiration to you four.

    M.... ....

    Mivader you should listen to doom metal bands such as My Dying Bride, 40 Watt Sun, Pallbearer, Evoken, there are plenty of songs in the same vein

  42. s.... c....

    Perfect song doesn't exi...

  43. I.... E....

    You just gotta love Converge ballads. I'm hoping this one will be sung by Chelsea Wolfe and Steve Von Till at some point in their career.

    I.... E....

    Icarus Empire Arts I second that motion

  44. M.... S....

    "Dear frightened little boy, it's time to rise above all of their noise"

    Utterly potent. Converge has done it again.

    M.... S....

    Mike Soerensen i mean,converge is one of the bands that you expect nothing but excellence from them

    M.... S....

    Dear shattered little girl... good shit. Once that darkness part comes in, gush the dissonance

  45. C.... ....

    EPIC CORE!

  46. v.... ....

    Just.. PERFECT!

  47. E.... S....

    Catchy bass line, but... I'm sorry to say it's the best part of the song. Probably better to listen to it in the tracklist context, cause it doesn't sound like an standalone piece.

  48. S.... ....

    THIS IS SO U N R E A L .....

    S.... ....

    ICH WILL UNREAL TOURNAMENT SPIELN!!! :)

  49. K.... K....

    WOW!!!!!!

  50. N.... K....

    Couldn't help spotting the influence from "Climbing Up The Walls" by Radiohead, a song that will live forever and ever

  51. B.... P....

    And at night they come, when protectors are gone
    Not in waves, but in shadows
    Prancing on the wall, creeping up the bed
    It's there they thrive and nest within

    Dear frightened little boy, it's time to rise above all of their noise
    Ghosts are merely shadows, you are flesh and bone
    The grudge does not have regrets when there is no past to forget
    Our denial it speaks in tongues, there's monsters among us

    And at dawn they'll go with the last shred of hope
    Someday it'll change, or so they say
    Just bide your time and try to stay alive
    Revenge will come with the rising sun

    Dear shattered little girl, this is not the end of your world
    It's the beginning of the rest of your life where you do, or you die
    It's not a trial but a test, just a broken mirror to reflect
    Our denial it speaks in tongues, there's monsters among us

    And at night they come, when protectors are gone
    Not in waves, but in shadows
    Prancing on the wall, creeping up the bed
    It's there they thrive and nest within

    I ask from within my heart, where did our failures start
    If we must imagine ourselves as someone, somewhere else
    And what does the future hold, if we're running low on health and hope
    Our denial it speaks in tongues, there's monsters among us

    Dusk lives within us
    Dusk lives within us
    Darkness won't give up
    Darkness won't give up

    Dusk lives within us
    Dusk lives within us
    Darkness won't give up
    Darkness won't give up

    Dusk in us
    Dusk in us
    Dusk in us
    Dusk in us

  52. J.... F....

    Speechless. Such a powerful song. Best song in a long long time.

  53. D.... ....

    JUST KILL US.

  54. A.... ....

    Converge is just on another level holy shit.

  55. s.... ....

    is this jacob...? holy shit

  56. P.... V....

    Absolute perfection

  57. l.... ....

    This feels like the work of MJK. Totally a complement!

    l.... ....

    Maynard James Keenan

    l.... ....

    André Martins Oh yeah. I always just say people's name lol.

    l.... ....

    i believe he would never write music like this. but i totally see where you're going.
    the way it captures exactly what the song is supposed to be about.
    he really uses all the musical elements to create a mood for the listener to partake in what he's going for.

    song of the year
