"Consumption"

by Jeph Johnson

 

You felt guilty in your innocence
Now you feel justified doing wrong
I'm overcome by our dissidence
As I compose this fatal song
There's an insidious assumption
Being whispered 'round the town
That you've consumed all our consumption
And you're no where to be found
That you're happy without having me
Content all by yourself
Well I've survived now you backstabbing me
And cleared off all our shelves
And underneath the cluttered mess
Beyond the torn down wall of trust
Lies debris destined for loneliness
That I'd rather just call "us"
