ties that bind

i tear on the leash

that keeps me contained and controlled

let me go

i want to break free

and fight my way out of this hole

one last hope

to rise and break away

above the faded line

way beyond the ties that bind

this i know

the risk is worth the gain

it's worth the sacrifice

way beyond the ties that bind

i run but the chains

pull me right back to the floor

you control

i rattle the cage

i won't be your slave anymore

you broke me into pieces

don't tell me what to be

damn you all i'm gonna find my way
