Closer Lyrics by Alfa Mist

Nocturne EP

0

[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
