Analysis of labyrinth of lies



Amidst the haze, your gaze does stray,
Smiles, kisses, tears - what's true, what's feigned?
Enveloped by thorns, a Sleeping Beauty's guise,
Yet from this dream, you cannot rise.
Do you feel encroached by the myriad of deceits?
Then you know, you're lost in the labyrinth of lies.
