I didn’t notice you were lost

In that ancient construction

Stretching out towards the horizon

Forming these ladder like structures

Carried away by one you tried to follow down

You sighed relief knowing I could finally breathe again

Buried six feet in sorrow I tried to claw my way out

Of my remorse for sacrificing all of your sin

Touching a moment eternal

Feeling like I did for the first time

Remembering your hand so gentle

Reaching out across the divide

Escaping your childhood trials by locking away your heart

No more stressful ties tearing your skull apart

You heard me in the sky with an open hand to start

The stripping away of all your lies
