Circling maze of fooling tears



I can see the way you're looking
the way you're looking

for a way out this maze
of constant fooling
this maze of schooling

The walls are curving
all around you
will you keep on going?
will you keep on searching?

I can see the way you're crying
the way you're crying

looks like you're praying
to a god you just made
yeah you just made

I bet He's kind with lots of mercy
quick with mercy

He's very kind to keep you going
keep on going
Keep on fooling

in this maze that's ever fooling
ever schooling
wrapped in soothing
voices you made

full of mercy
the god you just made
seems to have left you
I bet he's left you

all alone to be laid

down with mercy
down with mercy

I can see you're looking
you keep on searching
for all the wrong mercy
these walls are fooling

Yet you keep on spinning
round in circles
round in circles
trail of tears

they fell because there was not mercy
there was no mercy
from the god that you made
that god that you just made

So you kept on going
Kept on searching
for an escape from this maze
until the end of days

In this maze
this maze of fooling
