Lyrics
It's close enough, doesn't have to connect
It's close enough, a mistake to forget
The ends are strangers, couldn't touch if they tried,
But do me a favor, look away next time
You think it's funny?
You think it's rich?
Hope you got money
Cause life's a bitch
It's broke enough, don't try to fix it
You might do a good job but no one'll get it
They'll drown you too for being a foothold,
For staying afloat right here in the good ol' US of A
It's close enough, at least it stalls by the cracks
It's close enough but it could slip on through like that
You say it's safe teetering but gravity's a bitch
A downward spiral never gives a single inch
Don't know what's coming,
I don't care
The bottom has something,
And it's there
Not close enough, don't try to save it
You've got long arms but you'll never make it
I'd hate see you caught in the machinery, it's deadly
As deadly as the cold, dark place where you left me
