Don't Bring No Ladder

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

We raise our sail 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

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 the needle in the haystack
we swallow swords and fight wild fires
there's always a snake in side 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

I thought to ask the voice inside my head
if it would still be there once I was dead
but just as clouds don't leave a mark upon the sky
I guess it's not for us to know what holds the light behind our eyes
