Minotaur Forgiving Daedalus - Moonface, Spencer Krug

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
