Closer Lyrics - Singles - Liquid Gang

Self starter since the age of ten 

I didn't know I'd have to go down 

Fighting down this road 

Again class clown to a corner 

I was bound a dunce cap wearing 

Real God fearin' who never made a sound 

I cut my head out of the classroom picture 

And thought that I was the victor I was blind 

Now I'm closer to the ideal complexion 

Closer for my own protection, closer to the edge 

I never thought that I could be so blind 

A white shirt plaid tie wearing, child prodigy 

Two steps from sanity 

One from the edge 

A glance away from a face that shatters me 

As photogenic as a freak 

Poster boy for the meek, pale face and week 

God damn, my future looks bleak 

I cut my head out of the classroom picture 

And thought that I was the victor I was blind 

I'm closer to the ideal complexion 

Closer for my own protection, closer to the edge 

I never thought that I could be so blind, blind
