Nearer

Someone told me today I'm your man, ah
Something to dig my teeth into now
Pick me up, I'm stuck, I'm stuck
Wish me away, wish me luck

Tell me when I'm getting nearer
Tell me what I don't wanna hear
Over in the ways that I predicted
No closer to the final flaw
Take this poison right out my hand
It's easy to see
I just don't understand

When I lie, the sun bleaches my eyes
Like the devil comes and bleeds me dry
Every night I seek to find the sign
Lift me up, lift me up now

Tell me when I'm getting nearer
Tell me what I don't wanna hear
Over in the ways that I predicted
No closer to the final flaw
Take this poison right out my hand
It's easy to see
I just don't understand

Take this poison right out my hand
It's easy to see
I just don't understand
