"The Ties That Bind Us"

Wait a minute, it's all gone south,
Words don't matter I'm all talked out.
I wanna show you another way,
I wanna shield you from my mistakes.

They're the ties that bind us,
It's a kind of blindness.
Who needs eyes to see
The family madness running through me.

You my son I held in my arms
Close and keeping you safe from harm.
I wanna show you another way,
I wanna keep you from my mistakes.

So take me back to a time before
I lost my nerve and the trail went cold
I wanna know there's another way
I wanna shield you from my mistakes.
