[Intro]
Climbing, climbing
Climbing, climbing

[Verse 1]
Look at how futile this is
I'm so weak, so fragile, so torn
Going around and around, going inside
To the circle, to the ladder, to the sky

[Chorus]
I am climbing a ladder of urgency
Climbing a ladder of hope
Climbing a ladder of my emotions
Climbing a ladder of unraveling rope

[Verse 2]
You see what you want to see
But i'm not what you wanted, no I'm not
I am only one thing, one thing I see
One thing I feel

[Chorus]
I am climbing a ladder of urgency
Climbing a ladder of hope
Climbing a ladder of my emotions
Climbing a ladder of unraveling rope
I am climbing a ladder of urgency
Climbing a ladder of hope
Climbing a ladder of my emotions
Climbing a ladder of unraveling rope

[Post-Chorus]
Climbing, climbing
Climbing, climb
Climbing, climbing
Climbing, climb
Climbing

[Outro]
I am only one thing, one thing I feel
I am the ladder
