Climb the Ladder

I guess you're through forgiving me
 It's written on your face
 Forgetting all transparencies we lost while keeping pace
 It's time I faced another one
 It's time I faced myself
 It's time to please consider blaming me and no one else
 And I don't remember when
 All our gifts became a loan
 This rat race has destroyed us
 So we never can go home
 Where were these signs that we don't read
 We pushed past blindly to succeed
 Oh where, oh where's your conscience gone?
 Forgiveness registers no more
 Compassion's gone and closed the door
 I lost integrity
 I left it right in front of me
 Some say you don't belong to me
 Some told me you need space
 Forgetting all the problems
 Made me love you the same way
 It's time I faced another one
 This desperate man alone
 But nothing pushed them off the edge
 My reference told me so
 And I don't remember when all our gifts became a loan
 This rat race has destroyed us so we never can go home
 And we scream for forgiveness but deaf ears won't hear a sound
 It's the same people you stepped on going up and coming down
 Where were these signs that we don't read
 We pushed past blindly to succeed
 Oh where, oh where's your conscience gone?
 Forgiveness registers no more
 Compassion's gone and closed the door
 I lost integrity
 I left it right in front of me
 Where were these signs that we don't read
 We pushed past blindly to succeed
 Oh where, oh where's your conscience gone?
 Forgiveness registers no more
 Compassion's gone and closed the door
 I lost integrity
 I left it right in front of me
