Labyrinth from Labyrinth by Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff

Pools of night surround islands of city lights
A labyrinth hiding just out of sight.
In these stranger times, echoing slanted rhymes,
Survival just another crime.

Concrete lands anchored on shifting sands
Permanence passing from hand to hand.
Live your life fearing the sharpened knife
Of words meant only to bring more strife.

We share the guilt of this terrible thing we’ve built.
A labyrinth, dark utterance.
Walls like stone, built of words alone.
Tear them down. Just tear it down.

Lines on maps creating their own cold facts.
Make some live in the spaces between the cracks.
A river flows fighting the undertow
Fed from the runoff of dirty snow.

Wayward stars leading to strange bazaars
Too late to realize we’ve gone too far.
Find the song that makes the hopeless strong
New words to make a place we all belong.

We share the guilt of this terrible thing we’ve built.
This labyrinth, dark utterance.
Walls like stone, built of words alone.
Tear them down. Just tear it down.

Wayward stars leading to strange bazaars
Too late to realize we’ve gone too far.
Find the song that makes the hopeless strong
New words to make a place we all belong.

We share the guilt of this terrible thing we’ve built.
This labyrinth, dark utterance.
Walls like stone, built of words alone.
Tear them down. Just tear it down.
