Spose, Jeff Beam - Close To Me lyrics
[Spose, Jeff Beam - Close To Me lyrics]
That's the thing, and that's only thing
You can't rely on other people, that's wack
That's so wack
To be like, "Please fill in these holes in me
That, like, I don't think I'm strong enough"
Like, that's wack
Consequences of attention have dimmed my sun
(Sun, sun, sun)
I'll be unrecognizable when I'm done
In these shackles of judgment I can't run
Unbound by the confines of criticism
I could fly aerodynamic and free I'd sing
But then I bought iron
Boots and aluminum wings
They pull me down and I talk to them
They say I'm grounded as
If that's a compliment
I tried on sеveral of their uniforms
And I settlеd on the straitjacket
As I tape my wings to my body
I am a butterfly stuffed in the cocoon
In the bearhug of acceptance
I consider my escape
Journey close to me (Close to me)
I can finally be free
From all of this outside noise
It's drownin' out my inside voice
(Close to me)
In the exterior of a bearded man
With a young boy trapped inside him
Within the porcelain armor of a Russian doll
All the screams were muffled to silence
Heavy with the expectation
In the unscalable barricade of rules
With a blade he flayed off his differences
And then he blended in better at school
Man, he really loved to brew and
Grew all his broken wings
They were bruised and then restrained
Still tied
Should he decide to use those at this point
It would probably be too late
But they were dealin' with
The master of deception
Flexin' at the never-endin' masquerade ball
Bustin' in the customary costume he bloomed
And he assumed he was foolin' them all
But then in the mirrored gaze of a sober sun
He felt exposed, the charade was done
As a boy reached a hand up through his mouth
And then he pulled his shoulders
And his torso out he hopped on a bike and
He rolled through the crowd
Then he grabbed the mic, stood up proud
Mic check, one, two, I spent
Too long tryna be you, now
Journey close to me (Close to me)
I can finally be free
From all of this outside noise
It's drownin' out my inside voice
Close to me (Close to me)
I can finally be free
From all of this outside noise
It's drownin' out my inside voice
(Close to me)
Close to me outside noise
I can finally be free from all of this
Close to me outside noise
I can finally be free from all of this
Close to me outside noise
Close to me outside noise
Are in West Germany and are expected to fly
Home to the United States on Wednesday
This is Monday, July 1st, 's on vacation
Tom and I are
You could win a giant, 36-inch protection
TV, remote colored TV, or VCR, and
You can't rely on other people, that's wack
That's so wack
To be like, "Please fill in these holes in me
That, like, I don't think I'm strong enough"
Like, that's wack
Consequences of attention have dimmed my sun
(Sun, sun, sun)
I'll be unrecognizable when I'm done
In these shackles of judgment I can't run
Unbound by the confines of criticism
I could fly aerodynamic and free I'd sing
