Ties Songtext
von Des Ark

If you′re looking for a reason to freeze to death
Many can you feel it, it's your father′s breath
If you're scared as shit to talk about your family truths
Just know that I believe and always will believe in you

If you lay another hand on your sweet son
I swear to God my word is you
You can holler, you can cry, sober up, apologize
But it still won't do good on you

I don′t give a fuck about the ties that bind
A father to his son
If he′s just some dead weight, deadbeat drunk


Well, I can show you all the things he's gone to steal and sell
And still you hold on to your ear just like a paper shell
Well, I can take you on a tour of my old neighborhood
Here it is, the bathtub where you′ll find the love of your life
Choking up his own old blood

Well, the junkie's got a fire that is burning
Hotter than the brightest star
And if he don′t put it out himself
It's the needles, it′s the spoons, it's the little white rose

I wish I didn't give a fuck about the ties that bind us
The blood, the guts, even little paper cuts
These are the ones we love
