Dark Sets In

The sweat had sunk into his sheet

The moon was lighting up the street

He pictured her in some strange place

Bathing in some stranger's heat

If heaven's you, then hell is me

He closed his eyes to better see

All images taking turns

Then suddenly like in a dream

He's watching him, touching her

And knowing well the earth will rebel

And knowing about nature's curse

But that was just a bad excuse

There wasn't even much to lose

So many lives that he could choose

He chose the wrong one now he's thinking

Inside, outside

You're tearing me

For the love of your skin

Just tell me where have you been

Inside, outside

You're tearing me

And it don't mean a thing

Just tell me where have you been

Is this the dark setting in?

Imagination if you dare

Can take you almost anywhere

He's howling like a lonely wolf

But acting like something scared

(This is not happening, God set me free)

He tried to hold the clamor down

Silence never seemed so loud

He never looked for what he found

Another storm behind the clouds

Inside, outside

You're tearing me

For the love of your skin

Just tell me where have you been

Inside, outside

You're tearing me

And it don't mean a thing

Just tell me where have you been

Is this the dark setting in?

Feelings come and feelings go

But no one really wants to know this one, baby

You can trust it like your meanest friend

It don't suck up, it don't pretend

Like a big slow motion accident

It will f*ck you right up in the end

Now watch it

Now watch it

Inside, outside

You're tearing me

And it don't mean a thing

Just tell me where have you been

Is this the dark setting in?
