Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
But the best thing you've ever done for me
Was to help me take my life less seriously
'Cause it's only life after all, yeah
It's only life after all
[Chorus]
Well, 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
[Chorus]
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
But 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, yeah
[Verse 2]
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
And I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
Got my paper and I was free (Free)
[Chorus]
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
But there's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line, yeah
And the less I seek my source for some definitive (And the less I seek myself)
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine
[Verse 3]
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
I went in seeking clarity
[Chorus]
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
Yeah, we go to the Bible, and we go through the workout
We read up on revival, and we stand up for the lookout
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
[Chorus]
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
The closer I am to fine (To fine)
The closer I am (The closer I am)
The closer I am (The closer I am)
The closer I am to fine (To fine)
The closer I am
