Consuming Guilt - Youth Code

Strange ways that we are cheated

Of a torch to burn a path

Binding at the weeds to watch them grow

Existent beneath the cloaking of your love

Stapled to the walls and webs of which you’ve crafted

Pining for a gasp from these strangulation insides

Only to be reminded of your imminent death

All of these roads are blocked

Exits out to arms

To truly love you is to

Stunt stagnate and bind you

Nothing is good enough

Love is just a leash

Consuming guilt

Each drip dries throat to bone

Good means to go punished

My love comes with a price

All I want is to let you know

I own you

Wriggle on as you must

There is no compromise

Consuming guilt

You’ll walk your path alone

Shackled to a torturous relation

Bonded blood equates to lashes in our minds

With this whip

Each crack and pull, ministration

Assurance of protected cages

No wings to fly

All of these roads are blocked

Exits out to arms

To truly love you is to

Stunt stagnate and bind you

Nothing is good enough

Love is just a leash

Consuming guilt

Each drip dries throat to bone

Good means to go punished

My love comes with a price

All I want is to let you know

I own you

Wriggle on as you must

There is no compromise

Consuming guilt

You’ll walk your path alone
