Closer

[Verse 1: Lester Duval] Step away from the madness Breathe the cold air deep in my lungs and submit to the sadness Commit to withdraw from the battle Gotta jump ship and hope that I land in the saddle Hand on my heart, I wear my heart on my sleeve But I'm never really sure of what I hope to achieve And I never felt the cool from the rope of release Tether to the cause like dope to a fiend So far the road’s been open and free Though a couple of tolls, I've had a couple of fees Couple of times I’ve been on a couple of knees Wishing for a couple of hours or even minutes of peace Head spinning from the turbulent sea Scanning the horizon for a little faith in my breed Placing my feet among the space I make in my sleep Hoping the path I’m on is really destined for me [Hook: Lester Duval] Why do we go far? Why do we go? When we're just tryin' to get closer Tell me, why do we go far? Why do we go? When we're just trying to get closer Trying to get closer [Verse 2: Alfa Mist] I’m weary, I fled I’m here on the ledge Meant to be clearing my head but I’m hearing the feds Sirens, side effects have me in fear of the meds Steer clear from the medics, my peers weren’t here when I bled I don’t want the jeers of the credit Over beers and rhetoric, I'm low searching for my tenderness Lost seeking knowledge with holes in my jeans' pockets Don’t wanna clean office, I know that I’ll see losses But don’t wanna leave profitless, I’m feelin hot in this Displaced, where am I? Heavy mind, quiet wife, mixed race, we’re aligned Just until whenever I get displaced I can make mixtapes on my mistakes and risks taken I knicked faith, stole hope but I misplaced 'em Here’s the key to my heart but don’t open it, it's vacant I miss space and home is a bit crazy [Hook: Lester Duval] Why do we go far? Why do we go? When we're just tryin' to get closer Tell me, why do we go far? Why do we go? When we're just trying to get closer Trying to get closer [Bridge: Lester Duval] Why do we go far? Trying to get closer Why do we go far? Trying to get closer Why do we go far? Trying to get closer Why do we go far? Trying to get closer Why do we go far? Why? Why? Tell me why do go far? Why do we go? [Verse 3: Alfa Mist] I brought mementos to all my friends’ foes Never stayed to talk, of course I went home It’s usual, they'll view me at my funeral I’ll make that Walking Dead -pose A recluse but I’ve lived once, I bought a red rose I’ve been loved, only after I divorced my ex though I thought my head broke I sobered when I forced the pen flow Nearly took a widow to a comic expo And Tone told me "If you're on it, lets go I promise I’ll let go" I said no, see I wasn’t feelin what she said I’ll be a modern jazz artist competing with the dead She has my heart but I’m leading with my head So it’s the matter in my mind that’s defeating me instead Is this the life I purchased? Denied my service Like why am I worth it? A guy died perfect Despite my urges, I create a rift Couldn't say I win, in fact I stay adrift And that’s the way it is
