Lyrics
Heart Of Darkness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe you see further than I can see,
or maybe things just look differently.
Maybe I'm nothing but a shadow on the wall.
Maybe love's a tomb where you dance at night.
Maybe sanctuary is an electric light -
I get so tired it's like I'm another man.
And everything I see seems so underhanded.
I don't see anything that I want.
And I don't see anything that I want.
Image, object, & illusion -
Go down to the corner,
where none of the faces fit a human form,
where nothing I see there isn't deformed,
where in a secret lab works a Doctor Moreau,
and no private eye's gotta tell me it's a long goodbye.
I get so tired it's like I'm another man.
And everything I see seems so underhanded.
I don't see anything that I want.
And I don't see anything that I want -
Looking in two -
Looking into -
the heart of darkness.
