Climb the Ladder

I guess you’re through forgiving me
It’s written on your face
Forgetting all transparencies we lost while keeping pace
It’s time I faced another one
It’s time I faced myself
It’s time to please consider blaming me and no one else
And I don’t remember when
All our gifts became a loan
This rat race has destroyed us
So we never can go home
Where were these signs that we don’t read
We pushed past blindly to succeed
Oh where, oh where’s your conscience gone?
Forgiveness registers no more
Compassion’s gone and closed the door
I lost integrity
I left it right in front of me
Some say you don’t belong to me
Some told me you need space
Forgetting all the problems
Made me love you the same way
It’s time I faced another one
This desperate man alone
But nothing pushed them off the edge
My reference told me so
And I don’t remember when all our gifts became a loan
This rat race has destroyed us so we never can go home
And we scream for forgiveness but deaf ears won’t hear a sound
It’s the same people you stepped on going up and coming down
Where were these signs that we don’t read
We pushed past blindly to succeed
Oh where, oh where’s your conscience gone?
Forgiveness registers no more
Compassion’s gone and closed the door
I lost integrity
I left it right in front of me
Where were these signs that we don’t read
We pushed past blindly to succeed
Oh where, oh where’s your conscience gone?
Forgiveness registers no more
Compassion’s gone and closed the door
I lost integrity
I left it right in front of me
