Everything echoes down there
Reverberations of memories past
Wet and dark and perilous
Stumble over and over and over
Hands are tied behind his back
And it's so lonely in the void
Lonely and terrible
And the path is so uneven
Terribly painful
And how did he get trapped
Painfully obvious
An endless night of wandering
This tunnel, this tomb
There's a cruel joke underneath
Isn't there always
But it will never dawn on him
Life happens in cycles
Verse, refrain, verse, refrain
And so this prison, this torment
Is one circular, inescapable trap
Yet doomed to walk on and on
Destined to repeat each mistake
This puzzle has no solution
Rest your head, hope for light
But keep feeling for something
Something sharp
