Minotaur Forgiving Daedalus by Moonface Lyrics

You made a labyrinth
When you could've just made a heavy door
And then put it on the mouth of a cave
And put me in there
I think you're crazy

You made a labyrinth
When you could've just built a wooden cage
And then put me in the middle like a babe
Into a basket
Down the river

You made a labyrinth
When you could've just dug a wide hole
And then put me in the hole like a treasure
And rolled it over
With a wider rock

You made a labyrinth
Because mother heard the sound of the surf
And what she found when she looked was irresistible
A golden apple
You made the wooden cow
You made a labyrinth
Because I was born and they decided I was bad
I had branches where I shouldn’t have had them
And so they asked you
To be a rodeo clown

You made a labyrinth

And you drew it all out in the sand
So we could all see you using your muscles
I think you're arrogant
I think you're brilliant

You made a labyrinth
So you could run up to the king with a masterpiece
And you could run up to the queen with a masterpiece
All you had to do was fold the dirty rags

You made a labyrinth
You made a labyrinth
You made a labyrinth
When you could've just made a heavy door

But I forgive you

You made a labyrinth
But I forgive you
With divinity breathing down your neck
And your own famous name to live up to
Daedalus the greatest inventor
And in the end they will lock you up as well
You and your son in some tower
The two-headed monster
The one who can lift the veil
You made a labyrinth
You'll make the wax wings
And they will melt off your son before he falls into the sea
And then in Sicily
You'll convince a black ant to pull a thread through a seashell
And your wits will leap out at the costume king
Like they were leaping straight back into shackles
You nearly got yourself caught
Just to show an old man
How savvy you are with your puzzles

You made a labyrinth
You made a labyrinth
You made a labyrinth
When you could have just made a heavy door
