Bound

Bound to chains that don’t make a sound…

All I hear is my name on your lips.

Once said with love, now cursing the day

Your eyes were spellbound by my hips…

I’m tied up with ropes that no one can see….

I'm knotted in the ties that bind…

I’m tangled and strangled, I'll never be free…

Foolish hope keeps my heart confined….

Its an ugly, dark cycle we’ve entered into….

Bullets fly out of anger and spite.

Suspicions explode as jealousy corrodes;

One of us will pick a stupid fight….

You say something dumb, I jump your shit…

Blind fury is bigger than the crime…

All the bad feelings we try to hold in

Will burst free, it’s just a matter of time.

Insecurity sucks, I’m sad and I’m scared…

There’s been so much hurt for so long….

I love you, I hate you, I need you, I fear you…

I don’t know how it all went so wrong.

I’m a mess of emotion, I'm up and I'm down;

You’ve never been safe or trustworthy.

You saved my soul from a wretched dark hole;

Then you stomped on my love without mercy.

We're too much alike; our demons are friends.

Our brains have the same broken parts.

We lash out or turn all the anger within

When driven by emotions of the heart.

I'm shackled to the memory of your love

You're gone but I can't let you go.

I'm bound by my own fears and regrets,

I'm bound by my dreams for tomorrow.
