Chutes and Ladders

Falling by the wayside Living on the other side of it At the same time Now I just can't snap out of it When the mask comes off And the whole thing caves in Said I won’t get tossed in a head full of thoughts Found what I was Innocence that I’ve lost since We don’t coexist with the past tense Try to be the good guy Still following the riptide out Sitting with your tongue tied When all of it is inside out Tell me it’s a surprise Tell me when clock runs out In it for a long time I didn’t want to come climb down Chutes and ladders Cloak and dagger Chutes and ladders Needle in the old groove Trying to get the b-sides out Living in your old shoes Trying to wear the whole soul down When the mask comes off And the whole thing caves in Said I won’t get lost in a room full of talk Found what i was What I’ve been from the start And We don’t coexist with the past tense Try to be the good guy Still following the riptide out Sitting with your tongue tied When all of it is inside out Tell me it’s a surprise Tell me when clock runs out In it for a long time I didn’t want tocome climb down Chutes and ladders Cloak and dagger Chutes and ladders
