Wait a minute, it's all gone south
Words don't matter I'm all talked out
I wanna show you another way
I wanna 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 wanna show you another way
I wanna 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 wanna know there's another way
I wanna 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
