Ladder

I feel alone now
The last man on earth is not hyperbole
I feel alone now
Let's zoom in on the story that is you and me
Tell me if you loved me dearly, would you still come to hear me
And would you die for truth or just keep living insincerely
I feel alone now
The last man on earth is not hyperbole
I feel alone now
Let's zoom in on the story that is you and me
Tell me if you loved me dearly, would you still come to hear me
And would you die for truth or just keep living insincerely

I was climbing up the ladder, it became depleted
It's my own hubris that told me the pattern just repeated
Empty space there should have been another rung
I thought how could it be ending now, I've only just begun
Always skittish around ladders now I know what for
It's not like walking down the hallway toward an open door
It's not a portal to a different destination
It takes you where you were just at a higher elevation
One you can fall from if you're not inclined to fly
How many times I've hit the ground when aiming for the sky
Shoot for the moon, and if you miss end up among the stars
There's nothing inspirational about being dead on Mars
Enjoy my last hurrah, and all the change I made
It's not like any ghost can boast this kind of dying day
It's close to curtain call, and for my final bow
So with my last breath I must avow

I feel alone now
The last man on earth is not hyperbole
I feel alone now
Let's zoom in on the story that is you and me
Tell me if you loved me dearly, would you still come to hear me
And would you die for truth or just keep living insincerely
I feel alone now
The last man on earth is not hyperbole
I feel alone now
Let's zoom in on the story that is you and me
Tell me if you loved me dearly, would you still come to hear me
And would you die for truth or just keep living insincerely

Forget the mission
For far too long have I been your satellite
Hanging tough in upper orbit, practicing to get my greeting right
Keeping you arms reach - more like a mile high
Feeling dead inside when I see you with another guy
So in the end, it all comes down to you
You're the only person in the world I dread would disapprove
Radio's delayed, I was dead before you knew
I love you
