These Ties That Bind

These gods we place as idols

These men we call our heroes

These visions we once had

Just vacant eyes and empty dreams

Are all that's left

The tears we cried

The blood we shed

It was all in vain

The loves we lost

The lies we've said

Are haunting us again

Are you afraid of the dark?

Are you afraid of truth?

Do the little tales you tell

Spark some light in you?

Insidious are your intents

Delirious are your views

These ties that bind us

Cannot save us from the real you
