Catalyst unknown to me Gave birth to your insanity Over fifty years alone Yet you abandoned home You built this deformity You built it with regrets Made you yearn for better days and days with someone else You mean to tell me that you figured it out And you broke down there and then? Icon for the lonely men yet you abandoned creed Monument before me Testify your selfish deed Made of former maladies Your remnants from the past When you frolicked with the flock with a heart set for rapture Cutting the ties Paving my path Mind over matter No fear in my eyes Days into weeks Weeks into months Year after year without none to hold dear Cutting the ties (Ties) Paving your path (Path) Straying off course at the end of your life We are the same We are the same But you won't see me abandon my ways Move aside for the man alone My post My creed since you are gone First task is to build a new Icon for the lonely men An icon for the few Build to last for the promise made Your post Your creed are now erased With my tools of solitude I will build a monument A grave for you I can't believe that you figured it out And you broke down there and then Cutting the ties Paving my path Mind over matter No fear in my eyes Days into weeks Weeks into months Year after year without none to hold dear Cutting the ties (Ties) Paving your path (Path) Straying off course at the end of your life We are the same We are the same But you won't see me abandon my ways Abandon my ways Abandon my ways A catalyst unknown to me gave birth to your insanity Tell me why (Tell me why) Tell me why (Tell me why) Cutting the ties (Ties) Paving my path (Path) Mind over matter No fear in my eyes Days into weeks (Weeks) Weeks into months (Months) Year after year without none to hold dear Cutting the ties (Ties) Paving your path (Path) Straying off course at the end of your life We are the same We are the same But you won't see me abandon my ways Abandon my ways Abandon my ways
