Unfair, biased, wrong from the start
Breaking the foundation before it falls apart
Written in this book of rules and regulations
Is only a system meant for you to fail

Like an ever shifting labyrinth, no way is right
No step is secure on a floor thin as ice
When walking on a string, there is no good side
You can go nowhere swimming against the tide

Show me the way, give me the map
I’ll beat every obstacle, break every wall
Filling the road are landmines and ***** traps
The bottom of the pit is always where you’ll fall

There must be a way, where is the loophole?
There is no such thing as perfection
One cannot escape when all the gaps have been filled
An ever changing maze, I cannot control

Why is it so hard? Why is it this way?
Why run me in patterns like a hand woven quilt?
No words can explain, not much can be said
One cannot break obstacles another has built

A bit of help is enough, a hint is all I need
After all, hard work always pays its dues
Show me where to start and i’ll get to the prize
But a sheep can’t be a bird no matter how hard it tries

A map is what you want to see
A loophole, what you hope to find#
A hint is all you say you need
But a step you can never take

I’m a blind judge in whose courtroom you’ll always fail
A maze in which there is no exit
A world of confusion void of justice
Because unfair, biased, and wrong she rendered my scale.
We all have a scale
