[Verse 1]
Shadows are falling, I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep, time is running away
It 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

[Verse 2]
Well, 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

[Verse 3]
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 naked and numb
Can't even remember what I came here to get away from
Don't even hear a murmur or a prayer
It's not dark yet but it's getting there

[Coda]
It's not dark yet but it's getting there
