The Ties That Bind

.

The ties that bind,
someday you will find,
are not as secure as we feign.

The ties that bind,
I pray you will find,
are the only hope that remains.

I’ve come to my senses,
put down my defenses,
now I am finally free.

Please come to your senses,
put down your defenses,
see past the mutable me.

These scars I will bear for a long time.
I could never dream
to be as cruel as you.

These scars are all I can claim as mine.
You know very well
that what I say is true.

I’ve come to my senses,
put down my defenses,
now I am finally free.

Please come to your senses,
put down your defenses,
see past the mutable me.

Time has toyed with my heart:
deceived; made to believe
these ties could never come undone.

These ties could never come undone!
