the labyrinth of everything
Added 2022-07-09 01:38:44 +0000 UTChey everyone. here's a song i wrote many years ago called the labyrinth of everything. it's just one of those songs i always kept in my back pocket even if i never really intended to record or release it. i'd play it by myself when warming up, or sometimes i'd show it to friends. over the years i'd add little bits here and there as i inevitably outgrew the very powerful bits from years earlier.
still, it's a touching little song and the words mean a lot to me, even today. i recently found a recording of me singing it from a couple years ago. hope you like it 🌿
there is a darkness inside of your brain
and i don't think it'll ever go away
at least not entirely
through all that you try to be
you crawl and you hide beneath
all those layers of mountainside
the soil has calcified
you’re constantly wondering
if the monster will get to you
while you're navigating through
the labyrinth of everything
but i still like you even when the days are long
and i still like you through the cloudiness of the thickest fog
and i still like you through the months and months you were convinced it's gone
and i still like you a lot
i still like you even when the days are long
and i still like you through the empty space of a distant god
and i still like you through the years and years i couldn't get a job
and i still like you a lot
there is a darkness inside of your brain
and i don't think it'll ever go away
at least not entirely
through all that i try to be
i can feel it inside of me
like a bandage i couldn't close
a festering hologram
i'm sorry for everything
and now the monster has bitten you
and i would do anything
for you to roll up your sleeve
because the monster has bitten you
and all i'm trying to do
is show you where it's bitten me
it's bitten me
