Closer To Fine

I'm trying to tell you somethin' 'bout my life

Maybe give me insight between black and white

And the best thing you 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

And 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

And I went to the doctor

I went to the mountains

I looked to the children

I drank from the fountain

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, yeah

The closer I am to fine, yeah

And 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

Got my paper and I was free

And I went to the doctor

I went to the mountains

I looked to the children

I drank from the fountain

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, yeah

The closer I am to fine, yeah

I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m.

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

And I went in seeking clarity

I went to the doctor

I went to the mountains

I looked to the children

I drank from the fountain

We go to the doctor

We go to the mountains

We look to the children

We drink from the fountain

Yeah, we go to the Bible

And we go through the workout

We read up on revival

We stand up for the lookout

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

The closer I am to fine, yeah
