Ties That Bind Lyrics by Alter Bridge

Blackbird

2007

[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

[Guitar Solo: Mark Tremonti]
