Like walking into a dream,
So unlike what you've seen
So unsure but it seems,
'Cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place,
Just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay,
You'll be back here soon anyway

I see a distant light,
but girl this can't be right

Such a surreal place to see
So how did this come to be
Arrived too early

And when I think of all the places
I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life
and realize this is going too far

I don't belong here,
we gotta move on dear
escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right
to move on and on,
far away from here

A place of hope and no pain,
Perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain,
'Cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place,
Just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay,
You'll be back here soon anyway

This peace on earth's not right
(with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time
(I'm much too young to fall)
So out of place don't wanna stay,
I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind

Give me your hand
but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and
carry on my own life

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear
escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right
to move on and on,
far away from here

Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light,
And I'd hope you might
Take me back inside
When the time is right

Loved ones back home all crying
'Cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God
That there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken; I'm choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me,
I need another chance to live).

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear
escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on,
far away from here

Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light,
And I'd hope you might
Take me back inside
When the time is right

See how I circle
Imaginary mind, imaginary lines
Let the maze of my design carry you on

Just bumped my head and my face turns purple
Running through hurdles, running in circles
Trying to escape from this thing that I fear
Everything seems clear like the end is near
In the rear, I can see the beast getting close
Surrounded by ghosts in a cloud of smoke
The smoke reeks of failure, I don't want to fail
But all the stairwells lead straight to hell
So I'm jumping trap doors in the floor 'fore they floor me
Focus on the love and the light right before me
Walls keep spinning and my path keeps turning
Patience thinning and my calves keep burning
Hotter than a furnace, suddenly I'm learning
Maybe I finally reached the point of no return and
East is North and West is South
I feel like I'ma never get out
I'm trapped

See how I circle
Imaginary mind, imaginary lines
Let the maze of my design carry you on
See how I fly away

Behind me my ex-girl's chasing me
In front of me my next girl's facing me
Awaiting me, the light's in my sight
But I can't cross these enemy lines I'm behind
I can feel the fatigue but I'm dying to shine
But the road winds, I rewind, I rewind
Got to find a new place to hide for the night
Will I ever escape? Boy, I try and I try
Everybody's watching me, I'm dying to get out
In the glass labyrinth, I am the mouse

See how I fly away (I'm trapped)
It's just a game you
Play here in this labyrinth maze (I'm trapped)
(I'm trapped)
(I'm trapped)
(I'm trapped)
(I'm trapped)
