[Verse 1]

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


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

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
