Don't Bring No Ladder

We are a wave endlessly breakin

we are the ever seeing eye

we've never left the place we're searching for

don't bring no ladder when you die

We raise our sail 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

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 the needle in the haystack

we swallow swords and fight wild fires

there's always a snake in side 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

I thought to ask the voice inside my head

if it would still be there once I was dead

but just as clouds don't leave a mark upon the sky

I guess it's not for us to know what holds the light behind our eyes
