The Hand That Leads
by Globe and Beast· from The Life and Times
I've given this all up before to find that I have nothing
We are men of constant sorrow
Don't drink the water, they've poisoned the well
From which this hand has misled you
And forced you to drink
It served us well, this myth of hope;
Your bigotry and engulfing lies.
You were a glimmer of hope
Black shades fell as you left
How does it feel to know your worth?
Drifting amongst the droids
Egotistic bodies plague
Like disease spread over these waves
For with each crash I die inside
Move on, grow on
Your stains won't wash away
Putrid stench still lingering
You'll miss her
You'll miss him
Miss them
Yet you got away
You can't escape yourself
When each time we met was beneath your sheets
