Ties That Bind
Breaking Chains: Unleashing Freedom in Alter Bridge's Ties That Bind
Lyrics
I tear on the leash
I feel restricted and controlled
That keeps me contained and controlled
Expressing the desire to be set free
Let me go
An appeal to be released from constraints
I wanna to break free
Expressing the need to break free from limitations
And fight my way out of this hole
Desire to overcome difficulties and challenges
One last hope
A remaining glimmer of hope
To rise and break away
To overcome and escape from the current situation
Above the faded line
A boundary that has lost its significance
Way beyond the ties that bind
Exceeding the constraints that hold one back
This I know
A conviction that the potential reward justifies the risk
The risk is worth the gain
The potential gain is worth the effort and challenges
It's worth the sacrifice
Emphasizing the value of making sacrifices
Way beyond the ties that bind
Transcending the limitations of binding connections
I run but the chains
Struggling against forces trying to hold one down
Pull me right back to the floor
Constantly being pulled back to a difficult situation
You control
Acknowledging external control
I rattle the cage
Resisting and refusing to be controlled any longer
I won't be your slave anymore
Rejecting the role of being subservient
One last hope
A final opportunity to escape and rise above
To rise and break away
To break free from limitations and restrictions
Above the faded line
Surpassing a boundary that is fading away
Way beyond the ties that bind
Exceeding the constraints that bind
This I know
Reiterating the worthiness of taking risks
The risk is worth the gain
Highlighting the value of potential rewards
It's worth the sacrifice
Emphasizing the importance of sacrifices for greater goals
Way beyond the ties that bind
Transcending limitations and connections that bind
You broke me into pieces
Feeling broken and shattered
Don't tell me what to be
Rejecting external expectations and definitions
Damn you all I'm gonna find my way
Determined to find one's own path despite opposition
One last hope
A final chance to escape and rise above challenges
To rise and break away
To break free and overcome constraints
Above the faded line
Surpassing a fading boundary
Way beyond the ties that bind
Exceeding the ties that hold one back
This I know
Reaffirming the value of taking risks for personal growth
The risk is worth the gain
Stressing the worthiness of potential gains
It's worth the sacrifice
Highlighting the importance of making sacrifices
Way beyond the ties that bind
Transcending connections that bind for a greater purpose
