i'm trying to tell you something about my life 
maybe give me insight between black and white 
and the best thing you've 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 
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 

i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains 
i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains 
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 less i seek my source) 
the closer i am to fine 
the closer i am to fine 

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 

i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains 
i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains 
there's more than one answer to these questions 
pointing me in a crooked line 
the less i seek my source for some definitive 
(the less i seek my source) 
the closer i am to fine 
the closer i am to fine 

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 fountains 
yeah we go to the doctor, we go to the mountains 
we look to the children, we drink from the fountains 
yeah 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 a crooked line 
the less i seek my source for some definitive 
(the less i seek my source) 
the closer i am to fine 
the closer i am to fine 
the closer i am to fine
