[00:12.45]I'm tryin' to tell you somethin' 'bout my life
[00:17.88]Maybe give me insight between black and white
[00:24.70]And the best thing you've ever done for me
[00:30.81]Is to help me take my life less seriously
[00:35.59]'Cause it's only life after all yeah
[00:42.40]It's only life after all
[00:49.76]Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
[00:55.80]And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
[01:02.12]I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
[01:08.18]I sailed my ship of safety 'til I sank it
[01:12.76]I'm crawling on your shores
[01:20.54]I went to the doctor I went to the mountains
[01:26.54]I looked to the children I drank from the fountains
[01:32.70]There's more than one answer to these questions
[01:37.82]Pointing me in a crooked line
[01:45.25]And the less I seek my source for some definitive
[01:50.21]The closer I am to fine
[01:56.46]The closer I am to fine
[02:03.94]I went to see the doctor of philosophy
[02:09.98]With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
[02:16.11]He never did marry or see a B-Grade movie
[02:22.39]He graded my performance he said he could see through me
[02:27.69]I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
[02:32.60]Got my paper and I was free
[02:40.81]I went to the doctor I went to the mountains
[02:46.89]I looked to the children I drank from the fountains
[02:53.02]There's more than one answer to these questions
[02:57.95]Pointing me in a crooked line
[03:05.47]And the less I seek my source for some definitive
[03:10.38]The closer I am to fine
[03:16.55]The closer I am to fine
[03:42.75]I stopped by the bar at three AM
[03:48.49]To seek solace in a bottle
[03:52.17]Or possibly a friend
[03:54.92]And I woke up with a headache
[03:57.48]Like my head against a board
[04:01.40]Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before
[04:06.11]I went in seeking clarity
[04:13.73]I went to the doctor I went to the mountains
[04:19.79]I looked to the children I drank from the fountains
[04:25.47]Yeah we go to the Bible we go through the work out
[04:32.02]We read up on revival we stand up for the lookout
[04:38.33]There's more than one answer to these questions
[04:43.53]Pointing me in a crooked line
[04:50.80]And the less I seek my source for some definitive
[04:55.91]The closer I am to fine
[05:02.16]The closer I am to fine
[05:08.50]The closer I am to fine yeah
[05:14.82]The closer I am to fine
[05:18.62]To fine
[05:21.43]Closer I am
[05:24.59]Closer I am
[05:27.66]The closer I am
[05:30.85]The closer I am
[05:34.13]The closer I am
[05:36.48]To fine to fine
[05:40.20]The closer I am

And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
