The Labyrinth

The labyrinth goes on forever

A honeycombed ocean in green

My sense of direction can’t solve the equation

And brings me back to where i’ve been

The spectres around are blindfolded

But somehow they all know the way

Although each one’s boots follow disparate routes

Which doesn’t help much, i must say

Cause i have my eyes open wide

So much i can make out my thoughts

But try as i may i cannot find the way

- this irks me more often than not -

A castle awaits in the center

The spectres, they know how to go

I say “hello, hi” but they all say “goodbye!

It’s time that you, too, headed home”

But i do not know if i’m ready

-those who go in never come out –

Could wear a blindfold and do as i was told

But i’d hear the voice within shout

The architect, demiurge, yes!

His art is mind-numbing, he plays!

He wants me to tame the wild birds in my brain;

Poor daedalus in his own maze

Above me, i sense the glass vultures

Rejoice in the choice that i’ve made

But i don’t take kindly to casting spells blindly

I’ll read the grimoires as i wade

Now stardust is creeping all over

The labyrinth blooming around

And i know the cost of remaining this lost

But i still don’t want to be found

Ends go hand in hand with beginnings

The moon promptly chases the sun

I won’t let this dream fade away with a beam

Before it has even begun
