Closer

Life’s so infusing now

It rushes up your spine

It makes your mind to become

So absorbed yet so bored

You’ve just seen its smile

Perhaps there’s so much more

Down where it takes you to

Frown away

It serves it all

In a handful of delight

Than eats your smile

To feed a constant pressure

It shuffles you

Until you come back crawling

But there’s a burning light

But there's a yearning hope that sleeps inside

Right now

And there’s a hungry heart in you

And there’s a higher truth that walks beside your dreamless nights

Through time

And as you’re slipping in much closer

To the fire in your eyes

You just start to feel alive again, alive again

Life’s so confusing now

Beneath the backdoor lights

You can’t make sense anymore

What more? What more?

Thrown from side to side

Perhaps a glimpse, no more

Maybe a breath or two

‘Till it comes again

Cheap on truth

It shepherds you beyond

It feeds your eyes

To stop your soul from longing

It shuffles you

Until it numbs your calling

But there’s that burning heart

And there’s that restless mind that keeps you up

All night

And there’s that burning light in you

And there’s that higher truth that makes you feel you’re whole inside

Tonight

And as you’re slipping in much closer

To the fire in your eyes

You just start to feel alive again, alive again

It’s not your world

It’s not where you belong

Just keep your smile

But smile for those who earn it

And hand your heart

Only to the ones you burn with

There goes that burning light

There goes that hungry heart to wake you up

Tonight

There goes that everything that’s you

There goes that anything that you would do to hold your ground

Through time

And if you feel it burning hot now

That’s the fire in your eyes

Then you know that you’re alive again, alive again
