Lyrics
See how I circle Imaginary mind Imaginary lines Let the maze of my design carry you on Just bumped my head and my face turns purple Running through hurdles Running in circles Trying to escape from this thing that I fear Everything seems clear like the end is near In the rear I can see the beast getting close Surrounded by ghosts in a cloud of smoke The smoke reeks of failure I don't want to fail But all the stairwells lead straight to hell So I'm jumping trap doors in the floor 'fore they floor me Focus on the love and the light right before me Walls keep spinning and my path keeps turning Patience thinning and my calves keep burning Hotter than a furnace Suddenly I'm learning Maybe I finally reached the point of no return and East is North and West is South I feel like I'm 'a never get out I'm trapped See how I circle Imaginary mind Imaginary lines Let the maze of my design carry you on See how I fly away Behind me my ex-girl's chasing me In front of me my next girl's facing me Awaiting me The light's in my sight but I can't cross these enemy lines I'm behind I can feel the fatigue but I'm dying to shine But the road winds I rewind, I rewind Got to find a new place to hide for the night Will I ever escape Boy I try and I try Everybody's watching me I'm dying to get out In the glass labyrinth I am the mouse See how I circle (I'm trapped) It's just a game you Play here in this labyrinth [Maze]
Chorus Demo Lyrics
See how I circle A figment of your mind Imaginary lines Let the maze of my design carry you on
Royal Lions Chorus Lyrics
Turned off the numbness The lovers in your mind The pathways that unwind now An endless system to cross and now we're lost
