A slave to your twisted labyrinth

I don’t believe that I am

Worthy of the best

I whisper to the cascade mirror

What a shock this is going to be

The velvet lies you’ve screamed before

You tell me I am ugly

What you serenade in letters

I do not believe

You are wrong

As ethereal as you want me to be

An chained enigma, perhaps

I am not your perfect Labyrinth Angel

I am not your perfect Labyrinth Angel

A chained enigma, perhaps

As ethereal as you want me to be

You are wrong

I do not believe

What you serenade in letters

You tell me I am ugly

The velvet lies you’ve screamed before

What a shock this is going to be

I whisper to the cascade mirror

Worthy of the best

I don’t believe that I am

A slave to your twisted labyrinth
