lyrics

The Maze of Blues
Words & lyrics by Mattias Lies

I counted days I counted years
Life was a maze where daylight never appeared
I felt a weight inside this sphere
I really doubted I was getting anywhere

I fell asleep I had a dream
About my longing, about a road to reveal
A Blackbird landed on my shoulder on the right
I felt a deep sensation of light

Life ain’t what it seems
And shadows may surround you
Sometimes a little dream will come along to find you
In the maze of blues

The night is dark the day is bright
It’s hard to see a guiding star in light
You will be lost, you will be found
But first you need to step out of your mind

Life ain’t what it seems
And shadows may surround you
Perhaps a little dream will come along to guide you
In the maze of blues
