If I build my house on sand
And if I spin the wrong way around
No one here will let me know
Everyone has grown so cold
It takes a while to lose your shine
It takes a while to cross that line
But you will notice looking back
The faceless crowd that fell behind
You keep on stocking up like it's the only thing that matters
You can keep topping it up,
it will never be enough
How can you call this a life if you're only climbing ladders?
One day you'll tire of this game
We got lost in dreams of fame
And we got lost in empty names
Egos roll like beasts in chains
Running while they set the pace
Call it out by a flawless vice
We're leaning on convenient lies
But in the light they turn to stone
Left shameful like a drunk on home
You keep on stocking up like it's the only thing that matters
You can keep topping it up,
it will never be enough
How can you call this a life if you're only climbing ladders?
One day you'll tire of this game You
keep on stocking up like it's the only
thing that matters You can keep topping it up,
it will never
be enough
How can you call this a life if you're only
climbing ladders?
One day you'll tire of this game
Every page I turn is blank
And there's no road that'll take us back
Still I'll try to cross the stream
Still I'll try to reach the dream
