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.
