The Ladder

Isn't that what everyone wants to know

Pretty new girl walks into a room, everyone's head turns

Looks her up and down wondering who's she fucking

Who could she fuck?

And how high could she climb?

And is it higher than me?

Tragedy, a poisonous lover

You infiltrate to destroy

Vanity, a cancer unforgiving

A charlatan with poise

Fool me once, enough is enough

Was I more than a step on your way up?

Hollowed out, I've no semblance of love

Now you're just somebody that I used to fuck

Now you're just somebody that I used to fuck

Lest we learn, the tables turn

So I'm betting out, I'm betting out

You can be the prey in your masquerade

But I'm getting out, I'm getting out

There's nothing left to repair

Ravenous, self-righteous, and lurid

But how much more till you break?

Scavenger, so fucking undeserving

You slither in just to take what you can take

Counterfeit, I'm calling your bluff

Was I more than just a step on your way up?

Now you'll burn and you're flesh out of luck

Now you're just somebody that I used to fuck

Lest we learn, the tables turn

So I'm betting out, I'm betting out

You can be the prey in your masquerade

But I'm getting out, I'm getting out

Against insight I fed your source of revenue

But now, it means nothing to me to mean anything to you

Open grave, I was too blind to see

That "love", spelled to you is

"F-A-M-E"

You fuck your way up the ladder

Going down on your way to the top

Do your arms ever tire?

Or do they heal while you climb with your mouth?

Delete everything, sever the yearning

You can keep the fucking ring

Delete everything

You can keep the fucking ring

Nothing left to repair
