"No twilight in the courts..." is a reference to my second favorite poem, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner."

lyrics

So quick to forget; in all honesty
I don't see where we fit in
It's all so old

In reference to such better things
The car comes rolling in
Single file, we shuffle in

With so little to lose
When you're finally free
So little to tie you down
But you lose it anyway
With whoever's alone
At the end of the day
So little beneath the ground
But you dig down anyway

No one left to drive the hearse
Salvation is so plain
Not quick enough do these memories decay

Nothing in these basement walls
All lies remain the same
No twilight in the courts of yesterday

With so little to lose
When you're finally free
So little to tie you down
But you lose it anyway
With whoever's alone
At the end of the day
So little beneath the ground
But you dig down anyway

These themes of isolation don't bother me anymore

With so little to lose
When you're finally free
So little to tie you down
But you lose it anyway
With whoever's alone
At the end of the day
So little beneath the ground
But you dig down anyway
You dig down anyway

These themes of isolation don't bother me anymore
