It twists and turns,
Like its alive,
You never know,
When you'll see the end that is dead.

"Now Icarus, see what I've built,
Magnificent, and majestic,
Unlike you, but what can I do,
You are my child."

It's just like my brain,
Twists and turns,
But it has a voice,
Telling me I'm better dead.

"that kid Talus was talented,
But he had to die,
You should too, but what can I do,
You are my child."

I hear a roar,
And he says it'll never reach us,
But I've never stopped feeling choked,
By an invisible pair of hands.

It's the walls he had built,
Strong and confusing,
It's the wall I have built,
Strong and poisonous.

It's a labyrinth,
You cannot escape easily,
It's a labyrinth,
I  can never escape till I breathe.

Land has king's guards,
Sea has hungry sharks.
I have a voice,
Telling me I'm better dead.

"now child, bring those candles,
I have a plan,
Unlike you, but what can I do.
You are my child."

Keep the feathers of the chicken I've killed,
I wish to do same with you,
But what can I do
You are my child."

Days and nights he glues,
The feathers and twigs,
While the voice inside,
Keeps telling me I'm better dead.

"look son, I've built two pairs of wings,
One for me and for you,
I don't see the need but what can I do.
You are my child. "

"I don't see the need"
It is loud,
The voice echoes his words,
Telling me I'm better dead.

"Don't fly too high,
Don't fly too low,
The sun will melt the wax,
The sea will dampen the feathers."

"I hope you get this clear,
Stupid, you are,
But  what can I do,
You are my child."

Fly towards the sun,
Fly touching the sea,
It repeats the words,
Telling me I'm better dead.

"your father wants it too,
You are his child,
But what can he do,
You are better dead."

To escape this maze,
Come death,
I'm  not his child.
I'm better dead.
