Close I've Come

(album: Awake Is The New Sleep - 2005)

I slipped into a house
To escape my enemies
And opened the door to another world

Of lovers and whores
But I loved you more
Than any of them and ever before

Look how close I've come
I'm far away

The universe is brought back
From the brink of destruction
Every time you smile

But I can see things clearer
It's all smoke and mirrors
Yeah you broke my fucking heart but I still want you

Look how close I've come
I'm far away

One can only guess
What would happen if
I got all my questions answered

Then we'd know for sure
Who's got the quickest draw
Who's laying dead and who's above the law

Look how close I've come
I'm far away
