Imagine being confined where you cannot escape
Trapped in unforeseen circumstances caught in the trickery of fate
Delving through a labyrinth of tunnels while trying to breathe
To be transported by the wind is a granted reprieve
The walls closing in on you but you try not to fall
Being smothered in the darkness your path is stunted to a crawl
The labyrinth seems indestructible so panic creeps in
You try rising to the surface searching for the wind
Your breath is stifled in captivity from the deliverer of hope
So you excavate those tunnels striving to widen the scope
An aperture appears but your passage is denied
So you remain in solitary while the wind stays outside

Imagine being confined where you cannot escape
Trapped in unforeseen circumstances caught in the trickery of fate
Delving through a labyrinth of tunnels while trying to breathe
To be transported by the wind is a granted reprieve
The walls closing in on you but you try not to fall
Being smothered in the darkness your path is stunted to a crawl
The labyrinth seems indestructible so panic creeps in
You try rising to the surface searching for the wind
Your breath is stifled in captivity from the deliverer of hope
So you excavate those tunnels striving to widen the scope
An aperture appears but your passage is denied
So you remain in solitary while the wind stays outside
