The Ties That Bind
ALLISON MOORER
Darkness all around me
Ancient, cold, and scary
walking wounded, walking unworthy
Did you know what that was teaching me to be?
I wander and I worry
Can't get going even though I hurry
I've been dragging your legacy
And the weight has just about taken me down
Why do I carry what isn't mine
Can I take the good and leave the rest behind
Can I let go and watch it all unwind
Can I untie the ties that bind
Shadows in the hallway
Spirits whispering my name
Ain't gonna get me no not one more day
I'm strong enough to stake my own claim
Why do I carry what isn't mine
Can I take the good and leave the rest behind
Can I let go and watch it all unwind
Can I untie the ties that bind
