Not Dark Yet

Shadows are falling

I've been here all day

It's too hot to sleep

Time is running away

Feels 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

My sense of humanity

Has gone down the drain

Behind every beautiful thing

There's been some kind of pain

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

I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes

Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear

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

I was born here, 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 vacant and numb

Can't even remember what I came here to get away from

Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer

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

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