There's a pain within my soul That is tearing me apart Fear of the life unknown That is breaking down my heart Won't you take away this shame (All this shame) Can you numb all my pain 'Cause I'm breaking the ties that bind Breaking the ties that bind Feel the darkness fill the air With the stench of all your lies Now I see this fake facade Dissolving your disguise Now I know what you are (What you are) Guess I'm taking back my heart 'Cause I'm breaking the ties that bind Breaking the ties that bind You tried to break me down inside But you sham has run its course There is a better way to fly Won't be your slave anymore Anymore Now I know what you are (What you are) Now I'm taking back my heart 'Cause I'm breaking the ties that bind Breaking the ties that bind Breaking the ties that bind Breaking the ties that bind
