Shadows are falling and I been here all day
Its too hot to sleep and time is running away

Feel like my soul has turned into steel
Ive still got the scars that the sun/son? didnt/let me? heal
Theres not even room enough to be anywhere

Its not dark yet, but its getting there

Well my sense of humanity is going down the drain

Behind every beautiful thing, theres been some kind of pain

She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind

She put down in writin what was in her mind

I just dont see why I should even care

Its not dark yet, but its getting there

Well I been to london and I been to gay paris

I followed the river and I got to the sea

Ive been down to the bottom of a whirlpool of lies

I aint lookin for nothin in anyones eyes

Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear

Its not dark yet, but its getting there

I was born here and Ill die here, against my will

I know it looks like Im movin but Im standin still

Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb

I cant even remember what it was I came here to get away from

Dont even hear the murmur of a prayer

Its not dark yet, but its getting there
