Ties that Bind

Anger shakes the house of cards
Loving cup upon the bars
We bend the truth to help us through the night
Tempers thrown against the wall
Shattered like an empty glass
Nothin’ can save us from our own selves tonight

Anger is a mighty sword
Vengeance is our own reward
Love goes blind one eye at a time
Gonna cut away from the ties that bind
Hey, Hey

There’s an edge within my voice
Helps me win when I should lose
We pick and choose our weapons carefully
Words are twisted like a fist
Behind our back no slight of hand
No battle ever ended in a kiss

Anger is a mighty sword
Vengeance is our own reward
Love goes blind one eye at a time
Gonna cut away from the ties that bind
Hey, Hey

Anger shakes the house of cards
Loving cup upon the bars
We bend the truth to help us through the night

Anger is a mighty sword
Vengeance is our own reward
Love goes blind one eye at a time
Gonna cut away from the ties that bind
