Endless Ladder

The Antlers

If I seem much different,
More removed,
If I seem distracted,
It’s not from you.
If I’m really here now,
In a place and time,
Does someone look just like me on another side?
If you receive a letter in two-thousand twelve,
It could be the last letter you could send to yourself.
On an endless ladder,
Climbing higher,
Climbing higher,
Crawling out…
On an endless ladder,
Climbing higher…
So I feel much different…
So confused…
So I feel refracted…
Split in twenty-two…
So I’m really here now,
In a place and time,
(Though I know I might not be on another side.)
If I receive a letter from 2017,
I would know how to read it, but not what it means.
On an endless ladder,
Climbing higher,
Climbing higher,
Crawling up…
On an endless ladder,
Climbing higher…
