VERSE I
He's sorry he lost track of you,
    but it never was his intent

Was he suppose to break his stride, just to slow down for you
   when his efforts could be better spent

Finding a brave new class of victim who he'd soon have labeled friend
   And just a few short weeks til you get joined by them

He keeps an eye out for you
   on the chance you pray 'cross his path

Maybe one day when this nonsense settles
   he'll let you glance at his success

And you'll scream "Luck Me for being there" to help him climb all this way
   now that the cuts have healed and you've absorbed his debt

CHORUS
And all along his wayside
   is littered with corpses just like you

And all at once your forgotten
   Pale in his empty light of truth

VERSE II
He's sorry if your feelings got hurt
   when he had to give you away

You were his favorite pet, a likely story
   when it's he, not you, who ran away

A monster on the countryside, so easy to befriend
   And I guess it won't be long til the missing turn up dead

If only he had made the effort
   could he bring them all back to life

Could he resurrect from what little that's left
   so semblance of a life

'Cause when his boat comes in, it's a fever ship, rotten and corrupt inside
   and you're the luck one for bailing out long ago

CHORUS
And all along his wayside
   is littered with corpses just like you

And all at once your forgotten
   Pale in his empty light of truth
