Ties That Bind

[Verse 1]
In a mansion of lies, where shadows are cast
I played the part, painted smiles that never last
Oh, the stories she told, about him and his sin
I believed them all, just to fit right in
My childhood stolen, just a pawn in her game
Holding the blame, while she’s fanning the flame

[Chorus]
Mother’s love, a twisted embrace
Struggling to find my own space
Tied to a past I can't rewind
Searching for a peace I’ll never find

[Verse 2]
Promises broken, like glass on the floor
Locked in her cage, never asked for more
Truth was a stranger, an enemy near
Taught me to hate, and to live in fear
Years have gone by, but the scars remain
I’m chasing shadows and living in pain

[Chorus]
Mother’s love, a twisted embrace
Struggling to find my own space
Tied to a past I can't rewind
Searching for a peace I’ll never find

[Bridge]
Shattered dreams in my sleepless nights
Broken wings, I can't take flight
If I break free, will I mend?
Or is this wound one that won't end?

[Chorus]
Mother’s love, a twisted embrace
Struggling to find my own space
Tied to a past I can't rewind
Searching for a peace I’ll never find

[Verse 3]
In the mirror’s reflection, I see her face
A haunting reminder I can’t erase
Questions linger in the quiet night
Who am I without this constant fight?
She’s built walls around every thought
A labyrinth of pain, where I’m always caught
Every smile, a mask I had to wear
Hiding wounds too deep to repair
[Chorus]
Mother’s love, a twisted embrace
Struggling to find my own space
[Outro]
Years stretch on, but the chains are tight
Mother’s whispers haunt every night
I dream of freedom, of a life so true
But she's the author of all I ever knew
In the silence, I hear my own plea
To find the strength and just believe in me
One day I'll break these shackles in my mind
Until then in this darkness, I'm confined
Mother’s love, a twisted embrace
Struggling to find my own space
[Verse 4]
Echoes of memories, a fractured youth
Every so-called truth was twisted proof
Of a world defined by her cruel rhyme
I've been locked in this prison, doing time
[Pre-Chorus]
In every shadow, her voice I find
It's a chain on my heart, a tie to my mind
Can I escape this haunting refrain?
Or am I destined to bear this endless pain?
[Chorus]
Mother's love, a twisted embrace
Struggling to find my own space
