Jacob’s Ladder Lyrics by Yeo

Sell Out

2012

[Verse 1]
Every little once in a while, you find yourself overwhelmed
Something's missin', like the strength or a reason to tell me if there's something wrong
And I'm noticin' the cracks in the tiles, linin' the walls of your dim-lit bathroom
I see the pain of your bruises fadin' in like the insects crawlin' through

[Pre-Chorus]
The air is growin' heavy
And the minutes turn to hours

[Verse 2]
I'm hearin' all the voices you muffled through the thin walls keepin' your mind at ease
The waves of the rough sea lappin' at the edge of your shatter-able sanity
When I come back in the room you're there, all balled up in the corner
Strugglin' to breathe
What took all the air out of your lungs and put you on your knees?

[Chorus]
When the darkness falls around you
And your hope has failed to find you
I'll be standin' right beside you
Take my arm and I will guide you

[Verse 3]
Do you remember back to when we used to run along with the wind
Lettin' it carry us over-hill, leadin' us to all our dreams?
Now we're just fightin' it, lost without a cause
As we fell from those innocent days, growin' up, losin' our ability
To tell between what's right and wrong for us, and you don't know what to do

[Pre-Chorus]
The air is growin' heavy
And the minutes turn to hours

[Chorus]
When the darkness falls around you
And your hope has failed to find you
I'll be standin' right beside you
Take my arm and I will guide you

[Bridge]
Step by step, I'll bring you back to light
It's growin' brighter inside
Jacob's ladder will rescue us again
We'll climb the walls, escape
Never lookin' back

[Chorus]
When the darkness falls around you (When the darkness falls around you)
And your hope has failed to find you (And your hope has failed to find you)
I'll be standin' right beside you (I'll be standin' right beside you)
Take my arm and I will guide you (Take my arm and I will guide you)
When the darkness falls around you (When the darkness falls around you)
And your hope has failed to find you (And your hope has failed to find you)
I'll be standin' right beside you (I'll be standin' right beside you)
Take my arm and I will guide you (Take my arm and I will guide you)
