Secession from Zodiac by Ryan Downing

There's a weight that drapes across the dawn
Entangled thoughts won't leave me alone
What horizon is worth chasing now

It feels like time is slipping through the cracks
A river's course I can't run back
Why must I wear this borrowed grin

I need to break from these heavy chains
Find a place where the darkness fades
I can't stay caught in these lies
Find what hides beneath the tide
I wonder what's lurking deep inside
To make me cry

Doors keep closing, and I'm locked outside
And I have no place to confide
Why should I knock on walls so thin

I wander hallways within my mind
No rewind, no easy signs
Why should I flee from what waits inside

I need to break from these heavy chains
Find a place where the darkness fades
I can't stay caught in these lies
Find what hides beneath the tide
I wonder what's lurking deep inside
To make me cry

Don't know where I'm meant to go
But the ache won't let me hide
It's alive
Still, I'll try again
No, I won't let it go
No, I won't let it go

I need to break from these heavy chains
Find a place where the darkness fades
I can't stay caught in these lies
Find what hides beneath the tide
I wonder what's lurking deep inside
To make me cry
