Maze Runner
I walk around in my mental cage
Grasping unto fictional bars
Circus animal on a stage
Freedom is bottled in crystal jars
Prison time, time prisoner, we share visual chards
Watching out the same telescope
Trying to catch falling stars
We make a wish, holding on to hope
We’ve battled reality till we learned to cope
But it doesn’t feel like we’ve won
Always back on the hill, the hanged man by a rope
We put on a show as we run, run, run, run
My left turns lead me to my right
And my right turns give me a sense of pride
You who’s watching, tell me something
You who’s watching, tell me anything
Seems like I know nothing and they know everything
The spectators of our life just stare
Peek-a-boo, am I entertaining you?
Let’s play truth or dare
It’s fine because anything I say or do is nothing new
You see what you see
From the outside looking in, thinking you know me
But my mirror says, If only it was that easy
Free, free, free, I want to be, I want to be
Of the world’s perception of me
Free, free, free, I’m the maze runner
Welcome to my corner
This is my corner
Hmmm, yes, I’m the maze runner
Welcome to my corner
