[Verse]
A foggy road where whispers crawl
The sky's a canvas
Cracked and small
I chase the echo
It slips away
Lost in the maze of yesterday
[Chorus]
The shackles of reason
They hold me tight
Binding my wings in the dead of night
I dream of chaos
I long for flight
But the shackles of reason
They steal my light
[Verse 2]
A broken clock
It tells no time
The hands are rusted
The gears won't chime
I search for answers
They're out of reach
The tide pulls back
It won't teach
[Prechorus]
Round and round
A spiral deep
Truths I sow
Lies I reap
[Chorus]
The shackles of reason
They hold me tight
Binding my wings in the dead of night
I dream of chaos
I long for flight
But the shackles of reason
They steal my light
[Bridge]
Who wrote these rules
This iron creed
Who caged the wild
Who tamed the need
I want to burn it
The cage
The key
But reason whispers
It’s part of me
