Story Behind The Song
Closure - it is about the basic ontological struggle - "hell is other people", and all that.
Song Description
Between any two people, "closure" is an absurd goal - at best some kind of a Gödel-constrained outcome might get attained, but that too is hardly the norm.

Lyrics
Closure
-------------
It started out with stars in the eyes
You and I and the worlds and the skies
I dug the honey from your apiary
The one fruit I wanted, was only your cherry
When you pulled away, I tell you I cried
I pleaded with you love, will you be my bride?
(Guess) it was a joke, I was chasing the smoke
With a twisted antenna and dagger in cloak
You brought the rain down where I stoked the fires
I raised the throttle (and) you blockaded the tires
(And) you squirreled away a whole bunch of my wrongs
Sprung them out as needed with claws and tongs
And when
I was bleeding you came and
Gave me advice
It was not what I needed it was
Not very nice
The pain is receding I'm back
In the game and I'm playing
I'm watching your moves so don't
Do it again
And I'm done with all the searches for closure
Halal is halal and kosher is kosher
And I'm done with all the searches for closure
Halal is halal and kosher is kosher
Looking back at all the games we played
As we lay down on the grass in the shade
All those half opened, cans of worms
Giving up hope and coming to terms
I wonder where you're playing these days
It still hurts where we parted our ways
You've got yours now and I've got mine
The sand runs out at the end of the line
Plumbing that darkness at the edge of the day
No time to rest got to stave off decay
At the hand of doom, there's much wounded flesh
You reap what you sow and you get what you thresh
And I'm done with all the searches for closure
Halal is halal and kosher is kosher
Yes I'm done with all the searches for closure
Halal is halal and kosher is kosher
(It's) Russian roulette there is the head and that finger
Watching that trigger and you wish it would linger,
Pistol on brain, I distill the pain
(And) sing out in song, how you've done me wrong
Thought I'm done with searches for closure
It's reckoning time now, and I'm not so sure
It started out with stars in the eyes ...
