The Low Road Has No Exits

Wherever I go there too shall be grief

(My love) doting on me tenderly

Vacant praise for her hollow man

Such poise

What loyalty

What elegance

Inspired lust in a languid tongue

(Gave blood) and found me where there once was none

So I burned the bridge she'd have taken to leave

Each one

She's all I have left

C'est la vie

C'est la vie

The more it spreads the closer I come

(Better off behind your back)

Where we consummate in the presence of none

(Dead weight don't wait)

For the violent and endless stream

(A spineless yet supporting cast)

Of charmless that are harming me

From the cradle to the grave it has been a walk of shame

What did you think that your absence could bring old friend

My heart it burns with cavities

A slur couldn't rouse the sadness I've seen

Look close

That beauty is life and she's with me

Flaunted indifference is cheap cologne

Actor you speak of me in formal tones

To the gutless dogs that have cried mutiny

Know this: marooned with grief I'm richer than kings

From the cradle to the grave it has been a walk of shame

I am dead

What is one less worm

Seconds off of a prisoner's term

This is hell

You brought a candle to burn

I am death

And you have marked my words
