lyrics

Ropeladder
Framed by a window
Portrait for the night
Shielded from the pirates of social decline
A flask for the future in a bag
And the rope ladder swings in the wind that could fill up my lungs
Poised for adventure
Raise my finger to the sky
Reflection of the room looms and dooms magnified
My face frowns in a cause for concern
And the rope ladder swings in the wind that could carry my wings
The infinite weight of the solitary night (x2)
In decendence of a long-haired princess, locked in a tower
Waiting for release and rescue and power
Her feet were craving the ground
And her diet of fear rooted her there to be found
chorus
The infinite weight of the solitary night bares light
The moon she washes my dry
The infinite weight of the solitary night bares light
I’ve got to get out tonight
And that window with a hole from the challenge of a role
Took a blow by blow
Leaks the breeze in the form of the news of the night it’s my truth
Whispers its dreams on my skin
Fills my lungs like balloons
And they know the freedom to feel lighter than air
And safety became restraint
The rope ladder swings (x 2)
Chorus x 2
