The Maze We Made

Intro

We say we care, but look away.

We ask for truth, then hide our own.

We want someone to understand us,

But hate the things we don't control.

Who made this mess?

Who left us here?

Why is it easier to blame someone

Than face what we fear?

chorus

WHO MADE THIS HELL?!

WE DID! WE DID!

WE MADE IT OURSELVES!

Verse1

You say you love me, then make the rules.

You call it honesty when you're being cruel.

You want my trust, but you check every move.

You ask me to change, but what about you?

We keep old wounds like a reason to fight.

We say we're fine, then ruin the night.

We want to be heard, but we don't listen.

We want real love, but keep our conditions.

A little envy, a little pride,

A thousand excuses to save our side.

We hurt someone, then explain why it's fair.

We want forgiveness, but don't show we care.

We build our walls, then complain we're alone.

We blame the world for the hearts we've closed.

And every time we refuse to see,

We make the problem bigger than it needs to be.

Pre-Chorus

A little fear becomes a weapon.

A little power becomes a throne.

One person starts it,

Then a thousand make it grow.

Chorus

WHO MADE THIS HELL?!

WE MADE IT OURSELVES!

WE MADE IT OURSELVES!

WE POINT THE FINGER!

DON'T TURN AWAY!

DON'T TURN AWAY!

AT EVERYONE ELSE!

We hurt, we hide, we twist the truth.

TELL ME THE TRUTH!

We blame the world for what we do.

WHAT HAVE WE DONE?!

The monster grows with every lie.

IT'S GROWING DEEP INSIDE!

We feed it every time we deny!

DON'T DENY!

EVERY LIE! EVERY LIE!

STOP BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE!

FACE YOURSELF!

Verse 2

Some people pray because they're scared.

Some need to feel that someone cares.

But when a man says, "I alone know,"

How many minds will he control?

A book of faith can bring us peace.

A voice of hate can make it bleed.

When fear is sold as sacred truth,

Who pays the price? "The ones like you."

We draw a line between us and them.

We call them wrong, then do it again.

We say it's justice, we say it's right,

While someone else loses sleep at night.

It's not just religion, not just the powerful.

It's in the small things we do when we're hurt.

The need to be right, the need to control,

The way we make others pay for our souls.

Bridge – Spoken Narration

Perhaps the greatest lie

Isn't that evil exists.

It's the belief

That evil belongs to someone else.

The enemy.

The stranger.

The one we refuse to understand.

Maybe the problem begins

When we stop asking what is right,

And only ask

Whose side we're on.

I wanted love.

So I tried to control you.

I wanted respect.

So I made you feel small.

I said you were the problem~

But I never asked myself

If I was hurting you at all!

Final Chorus

WHO MADE THIS HELL?!

WE DID! WE DID!

WE MADE IT OURSELVES!

WE POINT THE FINGER!

DON'T TURN AWAY!

AT EVERYONE ELSE!

No perfect words can hide the pain.

No holy name can wash the blame.

If we keep doing what we deny,

We'll pass this hurt from heart to heart for life!

FACE THE TRUTH!

FACE THE TRUTH!

THE MONSTER IS?
