Shadows are falling and I been here all day
It's too hot to sleep and time is running away
Feel 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

Well my sense of humanity is going 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 been to London and I been to gay Paris
I 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 looking 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 the murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Not Dark Yet (Bob Dylan Cover)

I want you to remember, don’t forget about us
In your feeble memory, I’m here and beyond
I let you take the wheel and you drove to the sun
Your golden shimmer in sepia tones
Look back in anger, passion, regret
To the day when we first met

There hasn’t been a day you haven’t been on my mind
Deep inside the dark halls I’m occupied
Dreams that keep me going that someday I might find
As great a story as your life
Looking back desperate, hungry for what is left
From the days that we did best

Oh, he wants me to consider him gaining my trust
But the closer I get the more I stumble across
He devoted his life and I considered him not
The great feeling of giving up

I’ll let you in on this secret if you keep your mouth shut
A pair of lips on another’s, all it takes and it’s locked
You’ll always be my sweetheart, be they heavenly touched
You were always my true love
Nothing is forever, enjoy it while it lasts
I don’t regret it, don’t be mad

Oh, he wants me to consider him gaining my trust
But the closer I get the more I stumble across
He devoted his life and I considered him not
The great feeling of giving up

Oh, he wants me to forgive him for past made mistakes
I never took it to my heart that I was loved, I was ashamed
That’s when I leap into the shadows till I hear them walk off
The great feeling of giving up

Great Feeling (of Giving Up)

Hey, it’s been a long time since we last met
Tell me how you've been, are you doing well?
Me? Well, what about me
You left me at the altar, so to speak
Kind of hard to move past that

It’s kind of serious if you keep falling
When he just has hurt you his most
It’s kind of dangerous there is no warning
Like your body reacts to a ghost
But you’re in so deep, you’re lost
There’s no way to get out of the woods
Like a minute ago I felt good

It’s all about you, it isn’t good
It’s all about you, what can I do
Every time as you fade my mind press replay
And the strength I regained forgetting your face
Intellectual campaigns
I want them to stay

You and me in love would be enough then we give up
Give into me and you in love, two peas one pod, the two of us eternally
Give my thoughts something to read into...

A Minute Ago I Felt Good

Hey, what’s your name? Is it Sir or Ma’am?
This old thing, it’s just hi-fashion
Come and try my confidence
I’m up for almost anything
I lied, I’m up for anything…
Just take me there

Where the music plays, just take me there
Where the music plays, just take me there
There’s a beat around the bend and it’s been going on for days
I wanna find out what’s the place where the music plays

Ooh, bursting bubbles on the streets you walk
With your fashion sense and your pointed talk
You got a beef with me, I’ve got a coconut for you
It’s kind of hard to crack, because I’m sober too

Where the music plays, just take me there
Where the music plays, just take me there
There’s a beat around the bend and it’s been going on for days
I wanna find out what’s the place where the music plays

Oh, I wanna go out celebrate all the good things in my life
I’m so pure throughout the day, so don’t go catcher in the rye
Do a wink to almost everyone, they start to laugh and then the game is on
He’s a hunter - I’m the catch, and it’s the best night yet

Where the Music Plays

Everybody says their so happy to see me in love
But I Iook down upon myself and I don’t seem to be happy enough
I don’t feel comfortable up on this high horse when it’s me and not us
I’ve thoughts that kind of wander, start to run and growing stronger, it’s tough

But don’t give up ’cause of last night, baby
I fell hard when we first locked eyes and maybe

I get to feel that feeling again
Maybe not now, but till then
Break apart a heart is not easy to mend
You’ll get to feel that feeling again
So do it as fast as you can
Break apart a heart is not easy to mend

Me and you been kind of off and on, it took too long and I lost
That feeling I had with me when I went in to the city at first
I’ve gone door to door to find nothing of substance and it left me afloat
Going back had been my calling, so I did and started sink in this boat

When I felt lonely for the last time, baby
You were there and I carry that with me
(You were there and I cherish that)

I want to have that feeling again
Maybe not now, but till then
Break apart a heart is not easy to mend
You’ll get to feel that feeling again
Get it as fast as you can
Break apart a heart is not easy to mend

Heart to Mend

Suddenly Susan! I’m home really late
I see him on the porch filled with rage
My boyfriend drops me off and it’s time to explain
Why you left a good man waiting

He doesn’t got the looks, to the world he’s not much
He doesn’t got the goods, he don’t care about stuff
It’s showtime now, baby
What’s Simon to say
But I don’t get time of his day

I see it as blessing, curse and defeat
I’m not in love in the way he loves me
He knows when he acts up, I put on a show
He likes to see a fire in me grow

He faces the music, the fat lady sings
It’s not over for me until it’s over for him
I see behind his eyes there’s a wheel that is turned
He likes it when the fire in me burns

Never have I ever packed a suitcase and left
Gone to the store, done something I regret
He thought I was an angel the day that we met
But he hasn’t seen that side of me yet

He keeps me for his company, it’s something he lacks
I’ve seen him ’round town and the way that he acts
It’s not because he’s stupid or friends with the flask
There’s something in him holding him back

The children on the streets taking turns as they play
They follow a structure and got rules for their games
It must seem so odd that in spite of our age
We’re the one’s who struggle to obey

He doesn’t got the looks, to the world he’s not much
He doesn’t got the goods, he don’t care about stuff
It’s showtime now, baby
What do you got to say
There must be something making me stay

Suddenly Susan!

Inspired by "Ancora, Ancora, Ancora" by Mina.

Oh, you speak to me with soft little words
You’re a soft-spoken person
I take a hit, meet you up at the joint
Which we’ve been to so often

Oh, together again at last
We are here, united returners
I’ve been avoiding our favorite spots
The memories were burning

You saved me from myself, a child in dire need
Rescued and freed over and over
Take me to the melting pot of our journeys
Sharing blood, lust, heart and disease
Becoming so close we couldn’t get closer

Oh, Armani suit, Armani cologne
The sex was my mood
Through mirrors and smoke
Your love was so bold, it had me returning

He, the love of my life
A ghost from the past
Hard to see looking back
I find myself mourning
I’m still reminiscing ’bout the ways I adored him

You saved me from myself, like a child in dire need
I’ve been rescued and freed over and over
Take me to the melting pot of our journeys
Sharing blood, lust, heart and disease
Becoming so close we couldn’t get closer

When I looked at you as the band
Accompanied me to one of my songs
A rain of emotions washed over me again
And my breathy voice trembled
You had that look in your eye
You came to see me that night
How could I distinguish whether it was a tingle or a sudden stage-fright
My heart was in my throat, my head was in a shambles

You saved me from myself, like a child in dire need
I’ve been rescued and freed over and over
Take me to the melting pot of our journeys
Sharing blood, lust, heart and disease
Becoming so close we couldn’t get closer

Over and Over

Haven’t had any complaints yet, so far I’m fine
I wouldn’t trade it either way, just keep sliding by
I look away when I see danger and let 'em pry
And when it comes to my own cravings, I’ll cut a slice

I am dying from human needs
Can I get some attention, please?
I am dying from human needs

I find my nourish in new lovers and suck ’em dry
Before I’m starting to fade away to my demise
Do you remember the good old days when the spell wasn’t as dry
Now if I’m dialing your number, there’s no one waiting on the other side

I am dying from human needs
Can I get some attention, please?
I am dying from human needs

I’m dying from human needs
I’ll drop a pin to my location
I’m dying from human needs
And I’ll invite you to my playground

Honesty

Human Need
