Ladders

More I try, my mind quite sinking
flailing in the altitude
Each day we we pick up the pieces
Say that we mean it
Go embrace the solitude

More I climb, my mind quite weakens
Feeling in my blood is thin
Each time we shake off the last one
Say that we'll get it done
Thinking what we could have been

Some say I'll be best off higher
Freezing in the air above
I say we kick off the fleeces
profit increases
hit me with a punching glove

Some say I'll be radiant in the
graces of the grand design
I say it isn't so simple
let's just be civil
you take yours and I'll take mine

There goes... my head
Can you breathe as we climb up the ladders
Each rung... heavy lead
Can you see there's no end reaching for the top
These bones unaware...
they were formed not to climb
but to fly anywhere

Hi my lonesome
dark as only matter
dark as only matter
dark as only matter

Will we get home
taking on the ladder
taking on the ladder
shaking up the ladder now
