Maze
The overhead view is of me in a maze
And you see what Im hunting a few steps away
And I take a wrong turn and Im on the wrong path
And the people all watching enjoy a good laugh
Embarrassed with failure, I try to reverse
The course that my tread had already traversed
So doing the trauma engulfing my dream
Invaded through what was an unguarded seam
The torrent of helplessness swept me away
To the cavern of shame and the hall of dismay
Inside me a voice was repeating this phrase:
Youve lost it, youll never get out of this maze
Youll never get out of this maze x7

The Maze of Life
Onward through the maze of life
Each day forward we trek
Choosing which turn to take
Choices made, through the maze of life
Onward through the maze of life
Enduring our life in pleasures we seek
Engulfed in our own, private world
Slicing a way through the maze of life
Onward through the maze of life
Choices made, yet with little thought
The impact on others, without inclination
No compassion, through the maze of life
Onward through the maze of life
Grasping for all we can gather
Clawing to enhance our fortunes
Monetary wealth, through the maze of life
Onward through the maze of life
Each soul, a world of one
Each world, a kingdom of its own
Wasted soul, through the maze of life
Onward through the maze of life
No thoughts for the future,
Enjoying life, only for today,
, Future ignored, through the maze of life
Onward through the maze of life
Picking the apples, devouring the fruit
Filling our bellies today
Living for today, through the maze of life
Onward through the maze of death
A choice not chosen, a choice not ours
To late for changes, no more choices
Souls in default, through the maze of death!

The Mouse In The Maze
You did not
need to telephone today
to tell me
that you would not see me.
Today.
I already knew.
You left your job
I knew
you would not see me
very often.
If at all.
From this point on.
You live in the country
you can go nowhere.
Without justifying your time
people knowing.
Letting people know
paying for petrol.
You pay for petrol
money you no longer earn.
Where do you go?
Account for the petrol!
You do not realize yet
that you live in a maze.
You live in a maze
you are a mouse.
Merv runs the maze
you may run the house.
Or your own treadmill
you may run both.
You may run both
but both lead to nowhere.
You are the trained tame pet
caged laboratory mouse.
You may only run the house
and your children's home.
You are a mouse.
Merv the perve runs the maze.
The really sad thing is
he does not even bait you.
With a whole piece of cheese.
You run his prison maze
craving crumbs of affection.
He sometimes lets you keep.
You are only his mouse
running his relocated maze.
You are not as important
as his computer mouse.
Yet isn’t it funny
that I should fall for...
fall in love with
such a funny
mouse in a maze?
Apparently you are destined
to live a maze life,
running your treadmill
in submission,
to all important wishes
satisfying, the maze master?

Youll Never Be So Wrong
Written by ricky & marty wilde
Just two lovers in a seedy cafe
Someones leaving, the waiter says hey, wont you wait
Running nowhere, she hides in her room
What he told her had to get out and soon
Its just a bad affair youve had
No need to cry, dont take it bad
Youll soon be glad when youre far apart
Youll never be so wrong, not for a long time
Youll never be so wrong, not for a long time
cause Im never gonna find that feeling again
Im never gonna find that feeling again
Now shes breaking but what can she do
Somewhere out there a car disappears out of view
Fumbles somewhere for stale cigarettes
Looks for numbers, the ones she could dial but forgets
No point in you just looking down
No way that you can turn it around
Youve go to realise youre free
Youll never be so wrong, not for a long time
Youll never be so wrong, not for a long time
cause Im never gonna find that feeling again
Im never gonna find that feeling again
No point in you just looking down
No way that you can turn it around
Youve go to realise youre free
Youll never be so wrong, not for a long time
Youll never be so wrong, not for a long time
cause Im never gonna find that feeling again
Im never gonna find that feeling again

Hidden Hall of Mirrors
Silver maze behind the door
Opens when I hit the floor
Little girl that’s trapped inside
Doesn’t know she lives a lie
Lost within a silver maze
Now the world begins to haze
Mirrors flex and bend too great
Rebound back and now they break
Glass flies, reflecting, tearing
At her courage, quickly wearing
The door is open, the deed is done
It’s far too late, she cannot run
From the horrors sealed away
In the hall, where she play
She must face the terrors
Within the hidden hall of mirrors

Be Somebody
(manchester / poncia / vastano
I can tell by lookin in your eyes
There is something on your mind
Restless so long
Its time to let you go
Theres a dream out there
I know you got to find
So, if you take the love that I will give to you
Then I wont feel like Im losin you
I want you to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody
I know you can be somebody
Be somebody strong
To me, youll always be somebody, be somebody, be somebody
Youll never do wrong
Never do wrong
Always be strong, strong, oh
Be strong, yeah
People change
It happens all the time
Still, it hurts to say goodbye
So, if my tears are gettin in your way
Im imagining how your wings learn to fly
So, shine your light for all the world to see
Share the love you feel
But save the best for me
I want you to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody
I know you can be somebody
Be somebody strong
To me, youll always be somebody
Ooh, you can be somebody
Youll never do wrong
Always be strong
If you need me you can count on me
I know, I know
You can be somebody, ooh
You can be somebody
I know you can be somebody
Ooh, somebody strong
In my heart youll always be somebody, oh
You can be somebody
I know it, I know it, I know it
Oh, youll never do wrong
You can fly, you can fly, oh, fly

When Shes Wrong
Go on and take her, it aint no surprise boy
I knew that someday it had to come
Just let me offer a word to the wise, boy
Oh, take a good look at what youve won
Then turn around, boy, and try to forget her
Shes gonna hurt you, before shes gone
cause, when shes good, lord, there aint nothing better
But, when shes wrong, she sure can be wrong
Shell bring you sunshine so good that its frightening
Oh, but soon as the sun shines, start lookin for rain
Youll hear the thunder, before you see the lightening
As soon as its over, start lookin for pain
And you wont be sorry that you ever met her
But youll be thankful she dont last long
cause when shes good, lord, there aint nothing better
But when shes wrong, she sure can be wrong

Edge Of The Blade
Youve been tryin, very heard
Now this time youve gone too far
Your performance perfect
In every way--perfect!
I hear rumors all around
Contracts and lawyers
And champagne downtown
Tell me what you think
You want me to do
Ive been always fair with you
Turning on me
After all weve been through
You want trouble then thats just
The way it will be
Youre caught up in the power
A blue magical maze
Now the circle is broken
In a spellbinding rage
Better see if youre holdin
The wrong edge of the blade
If its sharp, if it cuts
Enjoy yourself

The Mazes Of My Life, Of Our Lives
we are mazes,
and some people who take us as
important, follow us in that maze, every turn, every
quizzical path, scheming mind, and at those corners where
there are celebrations, they scrutinize, the reasons,
and in the loopholes of our disappointments, they begin to smile,
embrace the comfort that they are not alone in all these
miseries, that we are all one race, one experience
of leaps and bounds, of manholes and mounds, of hills and trenches,
sometimes, i look at this maze, and i say with all confidence,
i have mastered these secret passages, i have no fear,
i always arrive at what i desire
i don't jump for pains, neither joys,
this is just a path that i have to walk on
and go through, and finish, and when i arrive there,
another maze opens itself, like some kind of doors
which lock and close themselves the moment i enter
for what life is exactly? it is personal, it is i who must
wade through its water flow to its river fall from its cliffs,
rise to its skies, explode to its jubilation,
rain to its drought, fill in the cracks, conceal its cancers,
survive its hurdles, drink its poisons, and
then die with all my colors
flowers on my sides, sunset at my back, their tears on my palms
their whispers passing through my ears
end to end like a wind gushing through
my windows......

Wanted
You didnt notice I existed that night
I jumped & I waved
Even shouted your name that night
But its all the same
Youll never see me again
All I wanted
You see my face
But its all the same
Youll never see me again
All I wanted
Youre so pretty
You turn me inside out
And I only say this
Because I know Im not
But its all the same
Youll never see me again
All I wanted
You see my face
But its all the same
Youll never see me again
All I wanted
And now Im standing
And youve left me with what?
And now you thank me
For what youve got
But its all the same
Youll never see me again
All I wanted
You see my face
But its all the same
Youll never see me again

Birds Of A Feather
Its easy sometimes when you just coast along
But like it or not something always seems to go wrong
Sometimes people build you up just so they can knock you down
Sometimes they will have you there cause they need someone around
Perhaps youll receive invitations for tea
Perhaps youll laugh and make them all smile
Or maybe youll join them cause it had to be
Perhaps youll forget you forgot for awhile
Birds of a feather are flocking outside
Like whippets they dance in a curly-queue dance
Of pulses and ringing and campfire chants
Of ritual drumming although at first glance
You thought you could run but you wont take a chance
Its not an experience if they cant bring someone along
They hang on emotions they bottle inside
They peck at the ground
And strut out of stride

My Labyrinth
Tell me now of the maze
The place you went to search, to gaze
To try to find what I have hid
To try to crack, to break the lid
The cap I have forced upon emotion
The one I used to stop devotion
For I have made a labyrinth
A place to keep all my sins
I have made a labyrinth
And in my maze my heart is hid
These walls I built
So I could be a man of tin
To banish my feelings from the world
So tell me how did you get in.
A map of my maze you've unfurled
You followed it and found my chest
The box I made my self forget
You opened it and then you left
And then Death and I nearly met
So now I sit here alone
So lost in it, all on my own
The mess you've made is now called me
The wound's unable to be sown
The feelings the world shouldn't see
But now they stand, like banners flown
Now I sit in the breeze
The boat I'm in was hurry made
The thoughts in my head churning seas
Nothing more is left of the plans I laid

A'Maze'ing
Your pain is His pleasure
For the storm has a clearing
And He will begin
Once your end is nearing
He does His work best
When there’s nothing to lose
And your will is all gone
So it’s His will you’ll use
When it’s time to let go
Then you have to hang on
To your faith in the Lord
And not the things that are gone
Even peace has a price
But it has already been paid
When the son of man came
The groundwork was laid
Keep your eyes on His suffering
Then your heart will know His love
Not the kind you seek here
But the kind from above
He gave his life here for all of us
Even those you despise
So let go of your grudges
If you want to rise
It’s like life is a maze
And the walls are too high
But God knows the quick exit
He sees the maze from the sky
He just wants to guide you
When you hit the maze wall
Because the healing is greater
The harder you fall
So when your storm is raging
Know that God’s got your hand
For one day it will clear
And you’ll see His big plan

The Goal Of Life
Life is a maze with many forks
At which one turns without rout maps.
In the maze, exit is the goal.
In the life, avoiding it is the goal.

Subculture
I like walking in the park
When it gets late at night
I move 'round in the dark
And leave when it gets light
I sit around by day
Tied up in chains so tight
These crazy words of mine
So wrong they could be
What do I get out of this?
I always try, I always miss
One of these days youll go back to your home
You wont even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
Youll realise you cant shaft without someone else
In the end you will submit
Its got to hurt a little bit
I like talking in my sleep
When people work so hard
They need what they cant keep
A choice that leaves them scarred
A room without a view
Unveils the truth so soon
And when the sun goes down
Youve lost what you had
What do I get out of this?
I always try, I always miss
One of these days youll go back to your home
You wont even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
Youll realise you cant shaft without someone else
In the end you will submit
Its got to hurt a little bit

Run away from all your whoredom and wave

A lot of guts, a little vision to wave

Its a maze for rats to try
Its a race, a race for rats

Sick and tired of maggies farm

Grey Matter
They say youre stupid
That youre too young to vote
They say youll swallow anything
That they shove down your throat
They say you cant think
That you havent got a brain
That youre just there to listen
That youre just being trained
Chorus
Theres something inside your head
Theres something inside your head
Theres something inside your head
Theres something inside your head
They say you lost the ability to even think
That your tiny little brain
Slipped down the kitchen sink
They say that youll buy anything
That they turn your way
That youll listen to everything
That they decide to play

Grey matter grey matter ooh . . .
Grey matter grey matter ooh . . .

I think you like it--like it
To be told what to do--isnt that true
I think youre better--better--better off
Stone cold dead--without your head
They say youre stupid
That youre too young to vote
They say youll swallow anything
That they shove down your throat
If they say lie down, youll do it
If they say--buy it now--youll do it
If they say--turn around--youll do it
If they say--hit the ground--youll do it
If they say--bite the big weenie--youll do it
If they say--wasnt that good--youll do it
If they say--bend over baby--youll do it
If they say--take it and like it--youll do it

Warm
One more time for ho jo, you know I cant wait
Another wasted line
Im sittin in the corner, I can feel the weight
Of my head on top of my spine
Theres nothing to be scared of once youve
Seen the the light, reflecting through the screen
A eudaemonistic life composed of tar and nicotine
You know it, you know it, you know it
cause youve seen it, now you believe it
You know it because it seems so real
You know it because youve seen it, now you believe it
You know it because it seems so real
It seems so real, it seems so real, it seems so real
Sit back and relax and do nothin,na,na,na,na
Youll laugh, then youll cry, then youll feel nothin,na,na,na,na
Implanted images of morality
Images of life, they seem so real
One more time for ho jo, what does it mean?
Im not sure I know, while looking for somebody
Deep inside a dream, my sunshine turns to snow
Now its blowin inside, I dont feel the cold
Yet Im frozen to my seat
My eyes have seen the truth
And still my mind admits defeat

You See.
You see the way she looked
when father died.
That lost
in a dark maze gaze;
that emptied
of being stare,
still there
years later
as could be expected
of a devoted wife.
Could see
in her eyes
worlds set ablaze
and burnt out
leaving just gutted ruins
where love had been
and lived and slept.
You see the way she studied
the roofs of houses
from her window
of her lonely room;
grey tiles and skies
with mists and gloom.
You see her now
mind gone
to dementia’s claim;
hardly remembering
a face or place or name;
but still that lost look
that drowning
in a maze of words
in some dark
foreign language book.
