Don't Bring No Ladder - Clem Snide

We are a wave endlessly breaking

We are the ever seeing eye

We’ve never left the place we’re searching for

Don’t bring no ladder when you die

Don’t bring no ladder when you die

We raise our sails inside a bottle

We hang the moon and pain the sky

There’s never a seat left in the life boat

Don’t bring no ladder when you die

Don’t bring no ladder when you die

And if you could bury me naked

And if you could bury me deep

Believe that from the darkness something will emerge

We are forever on the verge of some hard truth

We are a needle in the haystack

We swallow swords and we fight wild fires

There’s always a snake inside the garden

Don’t bring no ladder when you die

Don’t bring no ladder when you die

Don’t bring no ladder when you die

Don’t bring no ladder when you die

Don’t bring no ladder when you die

Don’t bring no ladder when you die

I thought to ask the voice inside my head

If it would still be there once I am dead

But just as clouds don’t leave a mark upon the sky

I guess it’s not for us to know what hold the light behind our eyes
