Icon

Catalyst unknown to me
Gave birth to your insanity
Over fifty years alone
Yet you abandoned home
You built this deformity
You built it with regrets
Made you yearn for better days and days with someone else
You mean to tell me that you figured it out
And you broke down there and then?

Icon for the lonely men yet you abandoned creed
Monument before me
Testify your selfish deed
Made of former maladies
Your remnants from the past
When you frolicked with the flock with a heart set for rapture

Cutting the ties
Paving my path
Mind over matter
No fear in my eyes
Days into weeks
Weeks into months
Year after year without none to hold dear
Cutting the ties (Ties)
Paving your path (Path)
Straying off course at the end of your life
We are the same
We are the same
But you won't see me abandon my ways

Move aside for the man alone
My post
My creed since you are gone
First task is to build a new
Icon for the lonely men
An icon for the few
Build to last for the promise made
Your post
Your creed are now erased
With my tools of solitude
I will build a monument
A grave for you
I can't believe that you figured it out
And you broke down there and then

Cutting the ties
Paving my path
Mind over matter
No fear in my eyes
Days into weeks
Weeks into months
Year after year without none to hold dear
Cutting the ties (Ties)
Paving your path (Path)
Straying off course at the end of your life
We are the same
We are the same
But you won't see me abandon my ways
Abandon my ways
Abandon my ways

A catalyst unknown to me gave birth to your insanity
Tell me why (Tell me why)
Tell me why (Tell me why)

Cutting the ties (Ties)
Paving my path (Path)
Mind over matter
No fear in my eyes
Days into weeks (Weeks)
Weeks into months (Months)
Year after year without none to hold dear
Cutting the ties (Ties)
Paving your path (Path)
Straying off course at the end of your life
We are the same
We are the same
But you won't see me abandon my ways
Abandon my ways
Abandon my ways
