Maze (Live at Barley's, Knoxville, TN, 12/22/23)

My vision's fading
I can't stop hating
What you know you did
Is erasing
Your mind making
It easy to hold what you've hid?

I'm always climbing, never unwinding
Locked up in an open cage
I'm not lying when I say I'm trying
But loving you's like living in a maze

Your heart is golden
But the mine that's holding it
Is buried with coal and filth
Somehow I cower
Beneath your flower
That's begun to casually wilt

I'm always climbing, never unwinding
Locked up in an open cage
I'm not lying when I say I'm trying
But loving you's like living in a maze
Loving you's like living in a maze
The mist you live in
Has hardly given
Any hope of seeing eye to eye
When two people
Are far from equal
Loss of love means something's gotta die

I'm always climbing, never unwinding
Locked up in an open cage
I'm not lying when I say I'm trying
But loving you's like living in a maze
Loving you's like living in a maze
Loving you's like living in a maze
