[Verse 1]
After all my writing, up in bed I’m with my silence
And I’m thinking to myself what did I get into?
As it usually happens, I look back home to your presence
All your choices have affected me too
I can see you winning, while I find myself still craving
Something closer to a purpose, what’s new?

[Pre-hook]
Thanking God he saved me
Cause the talent that he gave me
Makes it hard for me to say
My ambitions bring me closer to my grave

[Hook: CADEN & Therese]
Bring me closer
Closer
To my grave
Close to my...

[Verse 2]
Funny how we started back in school, I guess we parted
Now I’m thinking that we did it way too soon
Wishing I could tell you, "I would love to be more like you"
But you know me, that’s not something I could do
[Pre-hook]
Now you always ask me, why is nothing really happening?
And you make me wanna say
My ambitions bring me closer to my grave

[Hook: Haley Joelle & David Steen]
Yeah, I'm closer (Yuh!)
Closer x3
Getting closer...

[Verse 3]
(Please)
Please be impressed, no longer do this for me
Complicated, stressed out, I need you to see
Intoxicated, painting with crayons on your sleeve
Writing your pain, now you’re starting to feel
A finer purpose, look for something perfect
We’re hurting each other, we’re anti-working out
Us, a job or even our life, been told I can’t make it
They think I can’t take it, but shit
That’s just pouring gasoline on the fire
The flame never died and you can’t deny it
I’ve been this way since 99, I released my own tape at 19
I will make a name for myself just speaking the truth
If I could ever reach a soul, I wanna teach the youth
That love isn’t gold, do you think you’ll stay true to yourself
When you hate everything that you do?
