wait a minute, it's all gone south
words don't matter, I'm all talked out
I want to show you another way
I want to shield you from my mistakes
ooh, they're the ties that bind us
ooh, it's a kind of blindness
ooh, who needs eyes to see
the family madness running through me
you my son I held in my arms
close and keeping you safe from harm
I want to show you another way
I want to keep you from my mistakes
ooh, they're the ties that bind us
ooh, it's a kind of blindness
ooh, who needs eyes to see
the family madness running through me
so take me back to a time before
I lost my nerve and the trail went cold
I want to know there's another way
I want to shield you from my mistakes
ooh, they're the ties that bind us
ooh, it's a kind of blindness
ooh, who needs eyes to see
the family madness running through me
ooh, they're the ties that bind us
ooh, it's a kind of blindness
ooh, who needs eyes to see
the family madness running through me
