Ladder Life

from Demo 2012 by Proclaim

/

lyrics

Struggle to the top, battle for more
Betraying one another, evil to the core
False notions 'bout true success
Basing our worth comparing to the rest

A clockwork machine doing what we're told
Wasting away, destroying our souls

Nothing matters, no future light
Aspirations, none in sight
Content with the lies society feeds
Ignoring the things that we really need

All part of the daily grind
But what legacy will we leave behind

What will we leave behind?

The ladder life, reaching new heights
But it really doesn't matter at all
Climbing higher, reach your desire
Only to realise you have further to fall

Where has your youth gone?
Pushing everyone away
Where has your love gone?
Swallowed by your horrid greed
Where have your days gone?
Forgetting faces everyday
Where has your life gone?
You're gonna lose everything
