IT'S NOT DARK YET, BUT IT'S GETTING THERE...

******************************************************************************
I was born here and Ill die here, against my will
I know it looks like Im movin but Im standin still
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
I cant even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Dont even hear the murmur of a prayer
Its not dark yet, but its getting there
******************************************************************************

make it sad...heartwrenching...twisted...wicked...even perverse......
...just make it good and from inside YOU
