[Verse] You walked in, shadows draped your face The mirror lost some locks, but not your grace Quiet words tangled in the fading light A storm beneath the calm, barely out of sight [Pre-Chorus] Hold the silence, let it stretch and bend I’m listening close, but you won’t pretend [Chorus] Cut away, cut away, the ties that bind Breaking through, breaking through, the ties that bind Your quiet storm is loud inside my mind Cut away, cut away, the ties that bind [Verse] Your eyes trace lines on a broken map Stories folded tight, stitched with a fragile gap A whispered truth that never found its way Held in the hush of the words you couldn’t say [Pre-Chorus] Hold the silence, let it stretch and bend I’m listening close, but you won’t pretend [Chorus] Cut away, cut away, the ties that bind Breaking through, breaking through, the ties that bind Your quiet storm is loud inside my mind Cut away, cut away, the ties that bind [Bridge] Breath slow, don’t let it fall apart You carry weight, but not alone in the dark We’ll find a place where broken things can mend A quiet space where voices blend [Chorus] Cut away, cut away, the ties that bind Breaking through, breaking through, the ties that bind Your quiet storm is loud inside my mind Cut away, cut away, the ties that bind [Outro] Cut away, cut away— Cut away, cut away— The ties that bind.
