Closer to Fine

When 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
Was to help me take my life less seriously
It's only life, after all

Well, the darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And the light has a call that's hard to hear
But I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety until I sank it
I'm crawling on your shores

And I went to the doctor, and I went to the mountains
And I looked to the children, and I drank from the fountains

There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in crooked line
The less I seek my source (the less I seek my source for some definitive)
The closer I am to fine, yeah
The closer I am to fine, yeah

Well, 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 couldn't see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
I got my paper, and I was free

And I went to the doctor, and I went to the mountains
And I looked to the children, and I drank from the fountains

There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in crooked line
The less I seek my source (the less I seek my source for some definitive)
The closer I am to fine, yeah
The closer I am to fine, yeah

Well, I stomped into a 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 had been the night before when I went in seeking clarity

And I went to the doctor, and I went to the mountains
And I looked to the children, and I drank from the fountains

And we go to the bible, 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 crooked line
The less I seek my source (the less I seek my source for some definitive)
The closer I am to fine, yeah
The closer I am to fine, yeah
