Ladder Song lyrics

[Verse 1]

No one knows where the ladder goes

You're gonna lose what you love the most

You're not alone in anything

You're not unique in dying

I feel estranged every now and then

Fall asleep reading science fiction

I wanna fly in your silver ship

Let my mama hang and my sister sit

It's on now

The days are long now

The ups and the sundowns

And a twisting mind

If I gotta go first

I'll do it on my terms

I'm tired of traitors always changing sides

They were friends of mine

[Verse 2]

Don't hang around once the promise breaks

Or you'll be there when the next one's made

Kiss the feet of a charlatan

Some imagine freedom

All the rest is predictable

Trying your hardest to melt the snow

Tie the knots to concentrate

Keep on pulling, that rope will break

[Verse 3]

We'll welcome the new age

Covered in warrior paint

Lights from the jungle to the sky

See now, a star bursts

Looks just like a blood orange

Don't it just make you wanna cry

Precious friend of mine?

[Verse 4]

Will I know when it's finally done?

This whole life's a hallucination

You're not alone in anything

You're not alone in trying

To be
