1 - The Binds That Tie Us

I once felt you deep inside.  

Bound to me  

As I was to you  

Life  

Twisted us and attacked us  

Cutting the deepest parts  

Of our souls  

A binding like a chain  

Kept us fighting  

Kept us trying  

Until somehow  

Along the way, we broke that.  

Severing the only  

Thing anchoring our love  

We became the scars of war.  

Between hearts and souls  

And heads and life  

Victims on the battlefield  

Once called love  

But now forever is an invisible thread.  

Unyielding  

Refusing to give up  But no longer strong enough To hold on.

2 - Before I Knew You

I was half of a soul  

With a scarred heart  

Frozen in a world  

That didn't want me  

I fought against the tide  

Of not to be  

And danced on the floor  

Of almost  

Looking for more and changing  

From who I was  

To who I would be  

One day  

Before I knew you  

I was another me
