Break The Bind

"Break The Bind"
2011

On one of many nights alone
I sat in earshot of the phone
And I tried to hide my hope
But I was losing grip upon the rope
That kept me tied to my position
Which looked oddly like submission
But then I thought of you
And I knew what I had to do
I had to break the bind
Once placed upon a mind
That spent every waking breath
In the slowest form of death
But when wanting more from life
Helps you forget about the strife
Then it can't be all that bad
To want what you have never had
Or can it be?
On one of many nights alone
The same old show was shown
Talking heads that do their best
To make a name just like the rest
But there is nothing they could say
That could take these thoughts away
Because all I ever sought to do
Was get a greater taste of you
But I have to break the bind
Once placed upon a mind
That spent every waking breath
In the slowest form of death
But when wanting more from life
Helps you forget about the strife
Then it can't be all that bad
To want what you have never had
Or can it be?
I stare at your every photograph
And all I can ever do is laugh
Because I still feel like this
And you don't know that I exist
At least not in any kind of light
That'll place you next to me tonight
So as headphones sing this soul to sleep
I hide the disappointment that I keep
'Cause I have to break the bind
Once placed upon a mind
That spent every waking breath
In the slowest form of death
But when wanting more from life
Helps you forget about the strife
Then it can't be all that bad
To want what you have never had
Or can it be?
Girl, I hope the person on your mind
Proves to be worth your precious time
'Cause every second that I spent
Made it much harder to relent
From my inner child's belief
That you would bring to relief
To the chaos in my heart
Before I stopped and fell apart
But now I'll smile... Because I know...
Attraction was the bind
I once placed upon my mind
As I spent every waking breath
In the slowest form of death
But when wanting more from life
Helps you forget about the strife
Then it can't be all that bad
To want you
'Cause you're what I have never had
Or can you be?
Oh, darling can you finally be?
No, I think not...
