Motionless In White - The Ladder Lyrics






Isn't that what everyone wants to know
Pretty new girl walks into a room, everyone's head turns
Looks her up and down wondering who's she fucking
Who could she fuck
And how high could she climb
And is it higher than me

Tragedy, a poisonous lover
You infiltrate to destroy
Vanity, a cancer unforgiving
A charlatan with poise

Fool me once, enough is enough
Was I more than a step on your way up?
Hollowed out, I've no semblance of love
Now you're just somebody that I used to fuck
(Now you're just somebody that I used to fuck)

Lest we learn, the tables turn
So I'm betting out, I'm betting out
You can be the prey in your masquerade
But I'm getting out, I'm getting out

There's nothing left to repair

Ravenous, self-righteous, and lurid
But how much more till you break?
Scavenger, so fucking undeserving
You slither in just to take what you can take

Counterfeit, I'm calling your bluff
Was I more than just a step on your way up?
Now you'll burn and your flesh out of luck
Now you're just somebody that I used to fuck
(Now you're just somebody that I used to fuck)

Lest we learn, the tables turn
So I'm betting out, I'm betting out
You can be the prey in your masquerade
But I'm getting out, I'm getting out
Against insight I fed your source of revenue
But now, it means nothing to me to mean anything to you
It means nothing

Open grave, I was too blind to see
That "love", spelled to you is
"F-A-M-E"

You fuck your way up the ladder
Going down on your way to the top
Do your arms ever tire?
Or do they heal while you climb with your mouth?
Delete everything
Sever the yearning, you can keep the fucking ring
Delete everything
You can keep the fucking ring

Lest we learn, the tables turn
So I'm betting out, I'm betting out
You can be the prey in your masquerade
But I'm getting out
Against insight I fed your source of revenue (it means nothing)
But now, it means nothing to me to mean anything to you
Nothing left to repair

  45. L.... .....

    I feel like this is their best album so far because they're exploring new and different kinda things for their songs like Eternally Yours and LOUD ( Fuck it )

  46. T.... o....

    They should've called this Puppets 4 (The Ladder)

  47. T.... W....

    Greatest band in the world!

    Wow this song is awesome

    Man these lyrics, the whole song speaks to my damage soul.

  53. R.... C....

    R.... C....

    @Anabelle Isn't she the one in the eternally yours video?

    R.... C....

    aa miw1999 Yes and necessary evil

    R.... C....

    @Anabelle So how would the song be about her? They're probably still dating...or idk

    R.... C....

    aa miw1999 They broke up a while ago, she gained a lot of followers and “clout” after their breakuo

    R.... C....

    @Anabelle damn that's rough. Maybe they'll make another song like this one for this next album about her 🤷‍♂️. But the ladder was written before all that I assume.

  54. G.... G....

    Ever since they announced this album I've never been so excited for a motionless in white album they did not disappoint I love every single song on graveyard shift and I hope they will keep getting better!

  73. p.... S....

    The beginning with the girl, is that from a movie? Because I cant find it and the Movie nerd in me really wants to know :D

    Isn't that what everyone wants to know
    Pretty new girl walks into a room, everyone's head turns
    Looks her up and down wondering who's she fucking
    Who could she fuck
    And how high could she climb
    And is it higher than me

  74. f.... ....

    What if Sinematic, Puppets 1-3, and Ladder are all about the same girl?

  79. J.... A....

    You can hear the fire in Chris' soul coming out with this song so much, I love it to no end

  80. C.... M....

    plot twist: it's a cover of Somebody I Used to Know

    C.... M....

    My first thought lmao

  81. M.... M....

    How am I just now realizing that the quote at the beginning is from The Neon Demon??

  82. M.... C....

    This would be Puppets 4 ???

  83. B.... ....
