Chorus

This big ladder 'been keeping you away

Hiding yourself where you don't have to pay

But one day the ladder is gonna break

This old ladder 'been helping you out

Giving all the things that you can't live without

But one day that ladder is gonna break

All I know is when the road don't end

You still walk along or try to be friends

With the locks on the doors

Of rooms abandoned

Puzzling words on the tip of your fun

Splashed on the wall

And run out of town

The phone is always ringing

But this room is far from done

Pull down your blinds

And work in the dark

No screens gonna glare

No records gonna pop

No one could ever know if you start or stop

Yes, one day you're gonna have to face

The papers by the door

And all the years thrown to waste

We all just assumed you were dead without a trace
