       :Liner Notes: 
       
       I tried singing it to a metronome, but it wasn't as strong as with the
       more fluid tempo. It could still be a little more polished, but this
       should work until I've the time to put it to sheet music.
       
       I started writing this song while in the car, and in the end I wound up
       using all of the major features I originally had in that version. The
       sound is much cleaner, and the last few verses are more polished, but...
       when I realized it was stronger with the humming, there was no denying
       there was a bit of inspiration in the original. (The original was a few
       verses longer and featured more crying. Unfortunately, the car noise was
       just too much as the feeling present was really strong.)
       
       :Lyrics: 
       
       In the dark, I slept there.
       I slept where I had no care.
       In the dark, that's where I was.
       Warm and quiet and peaceful.
       
       In the dark there was no despair.
       In the dark I grew my hair.
       In the dark I ate my food
       without needing to chew.
       
       But all good things they must end
       even for you and me, my friend.
       Ejected from paradise
       in to the screaming light.
       
       Darkness it must come to end
       returning only briefly.
       Darkness it was my first friend
       and she greets me sweetly.
       
       Feasting only on the dark
       knowing naught what it might be
       Feasting only in the dark
       with my mother nourishing me.
       
       I heard her voice though muffled then.
       She sang to me so sweetly.
       In the dark of my first home
       I miss it oh, so deeply.
       
       I knew never hunger there
       and I did not wear underwear.
       Growing slowly deep within
       Knowing only deep peace.
       
       Growing slowly over time
       Single cells dividing, mine.
       Knowing only sweetness then.
       Growing oh, so deeply.
       
       Life was so much simpler then.
       Knowing naught what might be hence.
       Feeling oh so deep within.
       Growing oh, so sweetly.
       
       Why do I perchance to cry.
       Thinking oh, so sweetly.
       I sit and think of lullabies
       Pining oh, so gently.
       
       - [ humming ] -
       
       Knowing love forever then
       Knowing only peace within.
       Growing oh, so long and then
       Knowing only sweet things.
       
       I sit here now and wonder when,
       I might know such deep peace.
       Knowing only sweet within.
       I might go completely.

       In the dark, I slept there.
       I slept where I had no care.
       In the dark, that's where I was.
       Warm and quiet and peaceful.
       
       In the dark there was no despair.
       In the dark I grew my hair.
       In the dark I ate my food
       without needing to chew.
       
       But all good things they must end
       even for you and me, my friend.
       Ejected from paradise
       in to the screaming light.
       
       Darkness it must come to end
       returning only briefly.
       Darkness it was my first friend
       and she greets me sweetly.
       
       Feasting only on the dark
       knowing naught what it might be
       Feasting only in the dark

       Feeling oh so deep within.
       Growing oh, so sweetly.
       
       Why do I perchance to cry.
       Thinking oh, so sweetly. 
       I sit and think of lullabyes
       Pining oh, so gently.
       
       - [ humming bridge ] -
       
       Knowing love forever then
       Knowing only peace within.
