We are a wave endlessly breaking
We are the ever seeing eye
We've never left the place we're searching for
Don't bring no ladder when you die
Don't bring no ladder when you die

We raise our sails 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
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 a needle in the haystack
We swallow swords and we fight wild fires
There's always a snake inside 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
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 am dead
But just as clouds don't leave a mark upon the sky
I guess it's not for us to know what hold the light behind our eyes
