The deafening sound of your heartbeat pounding fills your ears. Calf and thigh muscles burn, causing you to think you can no longer carry on. Just as you're about to give up, you hear the grunts and frustrated screams of your captor, giving that push you need. You easily dodge tree branches and the sort thanks to the bright, silvery moonlight above, as if it's guiding you to freedom.

"Don't get caught, don't get caught," you chant like a twisted mantra.


The madness here has locked you up
And now your perfect world is fucked
It’s taken root inside your mind
Run, child, run
Run for your life
You don’t know now who you are
You don’t know now what love is for
The mirror face you see is strange
There’s no one here to share your pain


In the beginning, being here wasn't so bad. You had a roof over your head, clothes on your back, and food in your stomach. And most of all, you had a caring and compassionate companion. Someone you thought you could count on and never let you down. Someone who said they'd never hurt you... He lied.


Left, right, straight ahead
You’re in the labyrinth
Left, right, straight ahead
Left, right, straight ahead
No one here can tell you which direction
Is the right one to take
Child, for heaven’s sake
Left, right, straight ahead
You’re in the labyrinth
Left, right, straight ahead
Left, right, straight ahead
No one here can tell you who is good or bad
Don’t make a mistake
Child, for heaven’s sake


You clutch at your chest, your lungs aching with every breath you take. You stumble over a tree root and crawl a ways before lunging forward onto your feet once more. You can here him getting closer as branches snap beneath his heavy footsteps only yards behind you.

"You'll never get away, meine liebling," a hoarse, accented voice calls out. "You'll be alone for the rest of your life. Simply because no one loves you. They just use you. You are nothing but a child's plaything, left in the corner of a toy chest, unwanted and unloved."

Tears sting your eyes, making your vision go blurry. You bite your lip to keep from gasping and sobbing. You don't want him to know where you are. Giving away your position would be a death sentence.


Time and again, you've kept me out
And hardened up your heart in doubt
The me inside your second skin
Has got you thinking once again
When I possess your soul, I’ll say things
And use you as my personal plaything
The time will come, I’ll dull your senses
If you don’t stop, this game is endless

Knock knock
Let me in
Let me be your secret sin
Knock knock. Knock knock.
Knock knock
Let me in
Let me be your secret sin
Knock knock
Let me in
Let me be your secret sin


You pause for a second, head whipping back and forth trying to find the best path to take. Gasping silently for breath, you lean against a tree, and closing your eyes, you tip your head back, letting it rest on the rough bark. You listen closely for any sound that might give him away. But there's none. It's silent, aside from your soft panting. 'He's given up,' you think. But you know better. He would never give up on his favorite, sadistic game.

Never.

*snap*

One hand over your eyes, another tightly around your throat. "Found you."


Left, right, straight ahead
There’s no way out, you’re dead.
