Climb The Ladder (This Is A Standoff)

I guess you're through forgiving me it's written on your face Forgetting all transparency 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 Compassions' 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 Compassions' gone and closed the door I lost integrity, I left it right in front of me
