Daedalus

(Album: Yonder - 2022)

Doomed to repeat, repeat, repeat our history
It's all written for you in our tapestry
Soon it will circle back to me
It's just waiting for you to find out what it means

Everyone you know, everyone you see
Is always trying to find their place in history
But it's already there, already fair
Dried out in the open air
You keep on writing all day
Until the words are engraved indefinitely

What was once there is no longer visible
What came before is indecipherable

Doomed to repeat, repeat, repeat our history
It's all written for you in our tapestry
Soon it will circle back to me
It's just waiting for you to find out what it means
Doomed to repeat our history
It's all weighing on you, it's all tragedy
We're wiping all of the slate clean
It's rewritten for you, so find out what it means

(Find out what it means)
(Find out what it means)

What it means to be truly free
What it means to be blind but see
What it means to know the route out of the maze
Instead of just another lie
It's not another lie, don't trust the walls inside
If they dared they'd only lie
About how it's better on the inside
How it's better left bottled up and confined

You build your walls just to knock them down
When I'm no longer around
Let the chains that keep you caged in this labyrinth
Become unbound

Thought maybe I'd see you smile
But all you ever do is frown
Can't get off the ride now
All the carousel does is
Go around and around and around
Never to let you back on the ground
I won't let you slow it down

Doomed to repeat, repeat, repeat our history
It's all written for you in our tapestry
Soon it will circle back to me
It's just waiting for you to find out what it means
Doomed to repeat our history
It's all weighing on you, it's all tragedy
We're wiping all of the slate clean
It's rewritten for you

Doomed to repeat, repeat, repeat our history
It's all written for you in our tapestry
Soon it will circle back to me
It's just waiting for you to find out what it means
Doomed to repeat our history
It's all weighing on you, it's all tragedy
We're wiping all of the slate clean
It's rewritten for you, so find out what it means
