[Verse 1]
I’m writing to you from earth
Star date 20 20 and 4
In the middle of an ocean
And I can’t hardly see the shore
It’s a hard way to find out
You don’t wanna be a sailor
Halfway across
In your mother’s trailer
What I’d do to be certain

[Verse 2]

I saw the quasi-psychedelic jester gladiator
On his compound in the flower of the Mexican war
You’ll become what you hate if you seek to replace
What you hate, I’ve never seen it more
It’s a hard way to find out
You don’t wanna be a horn
When they’re already blowing
In the middle of a storm
What I’d do to be certain
What I’d do to be certain

[Chorus]
There’s a light beneath the curtain
Where the shadows dance
I can’t know
I can’t trust it
I can’t take the chance
Some days the sun comes up
In spite of me
I’m gonna find it
Inside of me
What I’d do to be certain

[Verse 3]
I see that hate has some pep in its step

I would too with that big blank check
All the back-ass preachers out in Oklahoma
Getting high, stoned on their own aromas
It’s a hard way to find out
It ain’t above love
That fear is a comfort
It fits like a glove
What I’d do to be certain
What I’d do to be certain

[Chorus]
There’s a light beneath the curtain
Where the shadows dance
I can’t know
I can’t trust it
I can’t take the chance
Some days the sun comes up
In spite of me
I’m gonna find it
Inside of me
There’s a light beneath the curtain
Where the shadows dance
I can’t know
I can’t trust it
I can’t take the chance
Some days the sun comes up
In spite of me
I’m gonna find it
Inside of me
What I’d do to be certain
What I’d do to be certain
