Jacob's Ladder

(album: Manifest Density - 2016)

I dream in shadows
Dream in black and white
Sleepwalk in the daytime
Sleeptalking at night
Misdirection, no connection
Between here or there
Forward, backwards, sideways
Climbing on a stair

Ascend, descend – keep climbing, I'm climbing
Here and there – keep climbing, I'm climbing
Blend, pretend – keep climbing, I'm climbing
Everywhere – keep climbing, I'm climbing

Pendulum for a lifestyle
Ricochet off the sun
Tell-tale heart, no stop and no start
No beginning and no end
Angels gave Jacob peyote
Then they turned him loose
Tongue wagging like a bitch in heat
Squawking like a goose

Ascend, descend – keep climbing, I'm climbing
Here and there – keep climbing, I'm climbing
Blend, pretend – keep climbing, I'm climbing
Everywhere – keep climbing, I'm climbing

Misdirection, no connection
Between here or there
Forward, backwards, sideways
Climbing on a stair

Ascend, descend – keep climbing, I'm climbing
Here and there – keep climbing, I'm climbing
Blend, pretend – keep climbing, I'm climbing
Everywhere – keep climbing, I'm climbing
Ascend, descend – keep climbing, I'm climbing
Here and there – keep climbing, I'm climbing
Blend, pretend – keep climbing, I'm climbing
Everywhere – keep climbing, I'm climbing out
