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 stranged every now and then
Fall asleep reading science fiction
I want to fly in your silver ship
Where my momma 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
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 imagined freedom
All the rest is predictable
Try your hardest to melt the snow
Tie the knots to concentrate
Keep on pulling, that rope will break
We'll welcome the new age
Covered in warrior paint
Lights from the jungle to the sky
See now, the star burst
Looks just like a blood orange
Don't it just make you wanna cry
Precious friend of mine?
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
