Although most likely not about the same subject, “Closure” bears resemblance to “Sleep in the Heat” from PUP’s previous album – both songs deal with death and dealing with feelings of loss and helplessness.
[Verse 1]
The light was startin' to fade
And I could feel the reaper
Waiting in the tall grass
Feeding off the fever
[Pre-Chorus]
And I couldn’t figure out why
You were down in the cold dirt
Something doesn't feel right
[Chorus]
I need closure
I need closure
[Verse 2]
With you not around
It was startin' to set in
Howled ’til my voice
Was totally shredded
Where do you get off
Thinkin' that you could just cut me off
When I thought that we were connectin'?
[Pre-Chorus]
And each night, I have the same dream
I'm face to face with your other
There's a part of you that's still a part of me
[Chorus]
I need closure
I need closure
Yeah, I was lookin' for somethin' to keep these scabs from comin’ off
I need closure
[Bridge]
I don’t need you to feel fine
I don't need you to come back
But I don’t think I'll ever feel right
'Cause I need somethin' I can’t have
[Chorus]
I need closure
I need closure
Yeah, I was lookin' for somethin' to keep these scabs from comin' off
I need closure
