Consentual Rape

This is a song by David Hammond.

Standing naked on a post
Your blood runs and you try to catch up
Skin pale as a ghost
Mind tormented by the thought of it

From the moment you said “Yes, sir, faster”
You raped yourself of your own pride
Caught up in your own disaster
A red hand you attempt to hide

But you can't
No one can
You're bound the moment you undress
And it's sent
You can't repent
From the moment you say “yes”
It's over

And there's no one to blame but

(You) You can't plead consentual rape
You took the loot but you can't escape
Reality's finally taking shape
And you can't take it back

And there's no one to blame but
You

Burning at the stake
Of your own desire
The deeds you partake
In to light your fire
Have turned out to make
A rather dire
Fate

And there's no one to blame but

(You) You take all your dreams
That you've awaken
And it suddenly seems
That you've mistaken
Now legions of screams
Have quickly taken
Hold

And there's no one to blame but

(You) You can't plead consentual rape
You took the loot but you can't escape
Reality's finally taking shape
And you can't take it back

And there's no one to blame but
You

No, there's no one to blame but
You
