Labyrinth

lyrics

Not much I say will do, everything I will
Counting til’ I cry
Try harder he said
Crime of a body
I guess it doesn’t count til’ you die
Curling up inside
feeling alive

Their eyes on puppet strings
I made up my own dreams
Things aren’t as they seem
The moon has the waves on a string
Always a plaything
Things aren’t as they seem

All you ever loved was a lie
Fantasy can’t die until you tie up the loose ends
Speak up, pick your poison
Call the end
I know all the tricks to your magic
Debunked the beauty of the tragic
All you ever loved was a lie
Fantasy can’t die until you tie up the loose ends
Speak up, pick your poison
Call the end

Is it venom on the skin?
To the eyes, to the mouth
Inanimate my first love, the late
Red lipped playing devil’s advocate
Dressed to kill
Dressed up to fall apart, I can’t wear anymore
It’s a metaphor
For the things that are so loud
For the things I’d rather not talk about
The things that crawl from me quivering
I lack emotion when the time calls
I fall apart trying to get my point across
Too soon the meaning is lost

Their eyes on puppet strings
I made up my own dreams
Things aren’t as they seem
The moon has the waves on a string
Always a plaything
Things aren’t as they seem

All you ever loved was a lie
Fantasy can’t die until you tie up the loose ends
Speak up, pick your poison
Call the end
I know all the tricks to your magic
Debunked the beauty of the tragic
All you ever loved was a lie
Fantasy can’t die until you tie up the loose ends
Speak up, pick your poison
Call the end

Blessed curse
Anything less is a forfeit
Hearts over the moon
Defying death, mourning without dying
Nothings cured me
Now I’m just empty
Eerie beauty
I don’t mean to be so breakable I fold
Crime of a body
Now I’m just empty
My heart won’t forgive me
My heart won’t forgive me

Permitting myself to fall
Commit my skin, tied myself within
Love what’s becomes us?
What am I losing all but hope?
Encoded subtleties skin me alive
There’s something about your eyes
Don’t be horrified
My imagination broke it gently
Always a plaything
Cut the strings
