Closer to Fine  Lyrics

    I'm trying to tell you something 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

    Now darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
    And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
    I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
    I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it
    I'm crawling on your shores

    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
    And the less I seek my source for some definitive
    The closer I am to fine
    The closer I am to fine

    I went to see the doctor of philosophy
    With a poster of Rasputin, and a beard down to his knee
    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
    I got my paper and I was free

    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
    And the less I seek my source for some definitive
    The closer I am to fine
    The closer I am to fine

    *whistle*

    I stopped by the 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


    from the fountain

    from the fountains

    up for the lookout
    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
    The closer I am to fine
