Inside a labyrinth, a child wanders The mental walls around him whisper "safe" For as he walks he sees only roses He can even feel their sweet aroma caress his skin But beneath the touch of illusion A young boy is walking in a labyrinth of bones While the smell of rotting flesh suffocates him But the child soldiers on, happier in his illusion Because the entrance is long gone And as he skips into the mouth of a beast He only laughs merrily Because as the monster consumes him All he feels is the tickling of petals Falling onto his skin

He Who Sees Roses
Inside a labyrinth, a child wanders The mental walls around him whisper "safe" For as he walks he sees only roses He can even feel their sweet aroma caress his skin But beneath the touch of illusion A young boy is walking in a labyrinth of bones While the smell of rotting flesh suffocates him But the child soldiers on, happier in his illusion Because the entrance is long gone And as he skips into the mouth of a beast He only laughs merrily Because as the monster consumes him All he feels is the tickling of petals Falling onto his skin
