lyrics
Snakes and Ladders
written by Jessica Rhaye, Clinton Charlton, Sandy MacKay & Bill Preeper
higher
we're all playing a game of snakes and ladders
rolling the dice trying to get higher
out of the darkness and into the fire
making our way through roses and liars
filling our heads with empty desires
hearts are like promises easy to break
oh what cha doing this for?
oh what cha doing this for?
time paints the rings on the trees in the forest
branches and leaves, verses and chorus'
if we are lucky, we'll never see them fall
come to me sleep through the night
oh I beg you, take me away
dream I will let you
stars are reflections of all you set out to be
oh what cha doing this for?
oh what cha doing this for?
oh what cha doing this for?
oh what cha doing this for?
higher
higher
we're all playing a game of snakes and ladders
rolling the dice trying to get higher
out of the darkness and into the fire
