Closer I Get

(album: Strays II - 2023)

Being alive costs a lotta money
So does dying
Giving up takes a lot of effort
But sort of trying

You can sell yourself your own soul babe
If no one's buying

I get the feeling I'm further away
I get the feeling I'm further away
I get the feeling I'm further away
The closer I get

I try to live in the light of day
But I don't feel enlightened
I'm scared of what I'll have to do
But I'm not frightened

My heart lives in the same old cage babe
These walls they've tightened

I get the feeling I'm further away
I get the feeling I'm further away
I get the feeling I'm further away
The closer I get

I get closer, all I know
You can't see the big picture from below
Say you're all grown up now, past is gone
Little piece of what we had still lingers on

Standing for something is hard
Standing for nothing's harder
Try not to act like a total jerk
But they still call you a martyr

I'm just somebody's mother, somebody's sister
Who's somebody's daughter

I get the feeling I'm further away
I get the feeling I'm further away
I get the feeling I'm further away
The closer I get

The closer I get
The closer I get
The closer I get
The closer I get

So far away
I'm so far away
The closer I get
