Ties That Bind (Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I tear on the leash that keeps me contained and controlled
Let me go, I want to break free and bite my way out of this hole

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
You broke me into pieces, don't tell me what to be
Damn you all, I’m gonna find my way

[Chorus]
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
[Outro / Guitar Solo]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
