Butcher's Hook

The youth that has pondered Are throwing back up The burdens of children Who just had to stop So righteous beside us But knowing all bounds There's limits that cap me All knees to the ground I never tell There's nothing wrong We'll have to ignore All the things that i've done I never tell There's nothing wrong There's something inside me That just won't belong Choking on the breath that held you hoping for one more And i'll be regrown Learning of the bitter things that bind you to the floor Bruised and enthralled Guilty when not feeling Guilty at all Just tease that we'll hold us So deep and in awe Deciding so wildly That giving us thought And all that remains Are the things i've been taught Holding up and holding back from what we feel we saw Knowing that we're still intact but growing ever coarse In despair Ever near At the end Choking on the breath that held you hoping for one more And i'll be regrown Learning of the bitter things that bind you to the floor Bruised and enthralled I never tell I never tell I never tell I never tell
