Here we go again
Standing right at the entrance
Of my labyrinth


All its twists and turns
I already know how this all works
The way it plays my head


It's all lairs and dungeons
Booby traps and collisions
Of these walls


I won't recommend more
There's nothing new in store
In these ghostly halls


My friends watched this show a million times
Nothing changes whether they press forward or rewind
All episodes start and end the same
So I closed down the attraction and just play all the games
Take the Ferris Wheel ride
Of the times that I cried
Shoot the balloons with darts
Watch it pop like how I fall apart
Purchased new padlocks stationed at every corner
Locked the creatures in, my friends have had enough of my torture
I know their muscles have strained
Walking through this labyrinth devoid of my restraints
So I've rebuilt the village's wreckage caused by my tornado
Keep it maintained, save the trouble for cleaning it ten times in a row
In the name of postponing my impending banishment
I'll just tell them "I've been pardoned by this universe's punishment
My sky had been cleared with the meteorite swerving
I'm breathing in the embrace of freshest of air" (I'm lying)



And best of all this labyrinth, where I'd settle in its center
Underneath this whole flesh, wearing it like my favorite sweater
Driven by autopilot machines, ironically marveling at the structures
A repetitive scene, no matter how I'd rearrange the sequence of mixtures
Chemical X, Chemical Y, all the solutions had been utilized
It won't matter how I tried, it leaves it dusted and pulverized
I'll release you from these handcuffs and undo the spell
Because the only convict who deserves the life sentence
In this glorious labyrinth
Is myself.
