Lyrics Those Poor Bastards

Those Poor Bastards

I Cannot Escape The Darkness

There is a curse

Upon my every waking breath

And I cannot escape the darkness

It feels like every step

Is gonna be my last

And I cannot escape the darkness

Some have tried to lift me up

But I only dragged them down with me

For I cannot escape the darkness

The iris of my eye

Is cancerous and black

And I cannot escape the darkness

Tear out your golden hair

And stitch it to my back

For I cannot escape the darkness

Some have tried to lift me up

But I only dragged them down with me

For I cannot escape the darkness

It’s time, my gal

To go and find another

I’ve dug my hole

Now just let me smother

Look at this worthless thing

That slithers on your floor

And I cannot escape the darkness

Just burn my eyelids shut

Then shove me out the door

For I cannot escape the darkness

Some have tried to lift me up

But I only dragged them down with me

For I cannot escape the darkness

It’s time, my gal

To go and find another

I’ve dug my hole

Now just let me smother
