I wanted to write a dark song about a relationship which I observed that has broken down beyond repair; both partners are lying to each other and keeping secrets. I've put it in first person as I thought it might be more effective. The song is about escaping the labyrinth of lies.

Lyrics

Verse 1

Whispered truths I’m told to keep

Secrets buried down so deep

We build webs with every lie

And never stop to question why

The heat of blame beneath our breath

Smothers any love we have left

All I have are walls of doubt

I need to find my way out

Chorus

Caught inside this labyrinth of lies

But now I see with open eyes

I'll burn the threads, break the ties

From the ashes I will rise

from this labyrinth of lies

from this labyrinth of lies

Verse 2

My memories are just a haze

Trying to work through the warped maze

Won't rest till I find the facts

I'll dig them from between the cracks

Chorus

Caught inside this labyrinth of lies

But now I see with open eyes

I'll burn the threads, break the ties

From the ashes I will rise

from this labyrinth of lies

from this labyrinth of lies

Bridge

One day I'll look back through the aftermath

And see I found my way to a better path

Chorus

Caught inside this labyrinth of lies

But now I see with open eyes

I'll burn the threads, break the ties

From the ashes I will rise

from this labyrinth of lies

from this labyrinth of lies
