Haken - Puzzle Box

No escape, I navigate through my cave
Beneath the skin, they keep us in night and day

Parasite, leech upon the guilt from all my wrongs
Lead me on the pathway to the core
Paralyzed, staring through the shadows on the wall
Unable to solve this puzzle box

Truth or deception?
I lose all perception inside

A fleeting sense of self-worth (Self-worth)
Evaporates into nothingness
A tepid grip on myself (Myself)
Melts away to oblivion

Shadows on the wall dance around
Reflections in the amber to be found
A puppet on a string soon unwound
The truth inside the cave soon to be unbound
The path beyond the mountain led me here
The answer crystallized in history
But now the cracks of time begin to show
We lift the veil on what the future holds
The torture of entrapment ever grows
And now I'm waiting for the afterglow
A beast inside of me awakening
Alas the consequences of my sins
Shadows on the wall dance around
Reflections in the amber to be found
A puppet on a string soon unwound
The truth inside the cave soon to be unbound

Bouncing off the walls
Latent memories (erupting)
Pulling at the cord
Earth beneath my feet (is trembling)
Lightning cracks the sky
'Wakening the beast (inside me)
Rawness in his eyes
Reeking stench of fear (and regret)

Bouncing off the walls
Latent memories (erupting)
Pulling at the cord
Earth beneath my feet (is trembling)
Lightning cracks the sky
'Wakening the beast (inside me)
Rawness in his eyes
Reeking stench of fear (and regret)

How can truth set us free when lies are all we have?
How can time heal us when our days are running out?

How can truth set us free when lies are all we have?
How can time heal us when our days are running out?
