The Labyrinth
Location
Dreams lead us through this maze
Nightmares make us lost
But we tell ourselves that at the end
There will be a reason for all our mistakes
We rationalize and create our shadows
Sorrows and death build the foundation
Drugs and blood construct the path
The walls are built on our fears
And while we know this
We know not how to conquer the pain
We are too terrified of the past
To stop the flow of tears that stains our future
And she knows that we are trapped
But the key is nowhere to be found
We drown in the lake of fire
We never question the circles
But we always know when we are gone
It’s too late to tell them
We lost vitality in the sound
To take a life she says is the only way out
Life is so short
We only take in the surface streets
Some are lucky and find the highways
But as far as we know
We are all on the same path
One day the Minotaur will find us
Even she believes that
He will feast on our flesh
And tear apart our souls
Happiness can only ever be a memory here
What I’m seeing isn’t worth believing
We all scream at our self-inflictions
She makes me want to save that memory
And if I found the genie’s lamp
You could never make me sell a wish
But I want a way out of here
And she needs us to save her breath
We all dance in our pitiful lines
When they overlap we laugh
Because sadness will never change this
Because we all live in this sea
The land keeps us breathing
But we’re scared of our own shadows
It’s all lost to her now
She has reached the bottom of the chasm
My friends isn’t it wonderful
That when we reach the end we always think we knew
I never ever thought that death could bring life
I never would’ve thought that she would take her own
Please tell me how to find my reflection
The labyrinth is closing in
