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?
