The Ladder

LETRA

The Ladder

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 fuc***
Who could she f***
And how high could she climb
And is it higher than me

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 f***
(Now you're just somebody that I used to fuck)

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

Ravenous, self-righteous, and lurid
But how much more till you break?
Scavenger, so fuc*** 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 your flesh out of luck
Now you're just somebody that I used to f***
(Now you're just somebody that I used to fuck)

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

Open grave, I was too blind to see
That "love", spelled to you is
"F-A-M-E"

You f*** 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 fuc*** ring
Delete everything
You can keep the fuc*** ring

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
But now, it means nothing to me to mean anything to you
Nothing left to repair
