Shadows are falling, and I've been here all day

It's too hot to sleep, and time is running away

Feel like my soul has, turned into steel

I've still got the scars, that the sun didn't heal

There's not even room enough, to be anywhere.

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

Well, my sense of humanity, has gone down the drain

Behind every beautiful thing, there's been some kind of pain

She wrote me a letter, and she wrote it so kind

She put down in writing, what was in her mind

I just don't see why I should even care.

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

Well, I've been to london, and I've been to gay paris

I've followed the river, and I got to the sea

I've been down to the bottom, of a world full of lies

I ain't lookin for nothing, in anyone's eyes

Sometimes my burden, is more than I can bear.

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

I was born here, and I'll die here, against my will

I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still

Every nerve in my body, is so naked and numb

I can't even remember what it was, I came here to get away from

Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer.

And it's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Every nerve in my body, is so naked and numb

And it's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
