Текст (слова) песни «Closer To Fine»

i'm tryna tell you somethin bout my life
maybe give me insight between black and white
and the best thing you've ever done for me
is to help me take my life less seriously
it's only life after all (yeah)

well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
and lightness has a call that's hard to hear
i wrapped my fear around me like a blanket
i sailed my ship of safety till i sank it
i'm crawling on your shores

chorus
i went to the doctor
i went to the mountains
i looked to the children
i drank from the fountains
there's more than one answer to these
questions pointing me in a crooked line
the less i seek my source for some definitive
the closer i am to fine
the closer i am to fine


and i went to see the doctor of philosophy
with a picture of rasputin and a beard down to his knees
he never did marry
or see a b-grade movie
he graded my performance
he said he could see through me
i spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
got my papers and i was free

chorus

I stopped by a bar at 3 am
to seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
and i woke up with a headache like my head against a board
twice as cloudy as i'd been the night before
i went in seeking clarity

chorus
