Not Dark Yet

Shadows are falling
and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep
and time is running away
I feel that my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
there is not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet
but it's getting there
Well my sense of humanity
has bombed down the drain
Behind any beautiful thing
there has been some kind of pain
She wrote me a leeter
and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writting
what was in her mind
But I just don't see why
I should even care
No,it's not dark yet
but it's getting there
Well I've been to London
I've been the gay Paris
I've followed the river
and that guide to the sea
I've been dowm on the bottom
of a world full of lies
and I ain't looking for nothing
in nobody's eyes
Sometimes my burden
is more than I can bear
though 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 vacant and numb
I don't even know
what it is that
came here
to get away from
I just don't see why
I should even care
No,it's not dark yet
but it's getting here
