Lyrics of The Ladder by Motionless In White
intro
Isn′t that what everyone wants to know?
Pretty new girl walks into a room, everyone's head turns
Looks her up and down wondering, "Who′s she fucking
Who could she fuck?"
And how high could she climb and is it higher than me?
verse
Tragedy, a poisonous lover
You infiltrate to destroy
Vanity, a cancer unforgiving
A charlatan with poise
Fool me once, enough is enough
Was I more than a step on your way up?
Hollowed out, I've no semblance of love
Now you're just somebody that I used to fuck
(Now you′re just somebody that I used to fuck)
chorus
Lest we learn, the tables turn
So I′m betting out, I'm betting out
You can be the prey in your masquerade
But I′m getting out, I'm getting out
There′s nothing left to repair
verse
Ravenous, self-righteous and lurid
But how much more 'til you break?
Scavenger, so fucking undeserving
You slither in just to take what you can take
Counterfeit, I′m calling your bluff
Was I more than just a step on your way up?
Now you'll burn and you're flesh out of luck
Now you′re just somebody that I used to fuck
(Now you′re just somebody that I used to fuck)
chorus
Lest we learn, the tables turn
So I'm betting out, I′m betting out
You can be the prey in your masquerade
But I'm getting out, I′m getting out
Against insight, I fed your source of revenue
But now, it means nothing to me to mean anything to you
It means nothing
verse
Open grave, I was too blind to see
That love, spelled to you is F-A-M-E
You fucked your way up the ladder
Going down on your way to the top
Do your arms ever tire?
Or do they heal while you climb with your mouth?
Delete everything
Sever the yearning, you can keep the fucking ring
Delete everything
You can keep the fucking ring
chorus
Lest we learn, the tables turn
So I'm betting out, I′m betting out
You can be the prey in your masquerade
But I'm getting out
Against insight, I fed your source of revenue (it means nothing)
But now, it means nothing to me to mean anything to you
outro
Nothing left to repair
Writer(s): Michael Kenney, Chris Cerulli, Richard Olson, Andrew Fulk
