Lyrics

    I'm getting closer
    all the time
    
    I tried to get so high
    I made it ten miles high
    I'm gonna get so high
    
    My nightmare's everywhere but inside
    A living indication
    Of every situation
    But it seems
    I've got neglected complication
    Hindered my salvation
    But I try and I try and I try
    
    I'm gonna get so high
    You'll never get inside
    I swore i'd never turn into you
    I'm closer all the time
    I made it ten miles high
    Can't tell my truth from my lies
    I swore to God I would never turn into you
    I'm getting closer
    All the time
    Tear it all down
