Ladder Lyrics by Jetty Bones

Songs I Wrote Instead of Killing Myself (The Pandemos)

2023

Calm now, so you don’t see it on the surface
How I’ve been dreaming about purpose ‘cause I can’t find mine
Darkness lives in my blood now
It says it wants to crawl out
But I don’t want to do down like this
But patience started feeling like complacency
Then started feeling like my destiny

My head doesn’t like me
My brain always fights me
My body is still a jar
I’m my worst enemy
My reflection’s dead to me-
Can’t stomach seeing what I’ve become

So I won’t

I’ll keep my eyes closed
I’m on the edge but everyone’s counting on me
I’m making ground but it’s shaking under my feet
I’m standing in the foreground wishing there was nothing to see
What do I have to do to get me back to me?
Just don’t keep your eyes closed
You can’t keep your eyes closed

I’m gone now
But I’m just coasting on the come down
See, I’ve been practicing out loud saying “I don’t want to live like this”
I’ve been waiting to outlive my expectations
But when I think back I know that I already did

I won’t be my downfall
I’ll show up for the call
Make good on the promise that I’ll stay
I will accept my limits
And pull back when I hit them-
But when I break…

I’ll keep my eyes closed
I’m on the edge but everyone’s counting on me
I’m making ground but it’s shaking under my feet
I’m standing in the foreground wishing there was nothing to see
What do I have to do to get me back to me?
Just don’t keep your eyes closed
Listen, you can’t keep your eyes closed

I’ll come back
What’s missing?
You’re missing it
Come back
What’s missing?
You’re missing it

You’re missing it
