The road to hell is a roundabout

The road to hell is a roundabout 
The path a screeching left
Your seat inside the slaughterhouse
An ever-catching breath

A hallway lined with mirrors
is an echo of your sins
The end is creeping nearer
Yetโ€”never closing in

The road to hell is a roundabout
An always-bleeding vein
No begging and no bailing out
The path remains the same

Before is just like after
And afterโ€™s back around
No asking reaps no answer
Just a bottomless well of sound

The road to hell is a roundabout
The tumblers full and spilling
Youโ€™re sure that God could end the route
Youโ€™re not sure heโ€™d be willing
