Not Dark Yet - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Shadows are falling and I’ve been here all day

It’s too hot to sleep and time is running away

I feel like my soul has turned into steel

I’ve still got the scars that the sun didn’t let me 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

Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear

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