The last paragraph actually needs a couple further changes that I just noticed
we've -> we, and calloused -> callous
Forget the words to the songs that we've heard

pretty sure the implied word is whore, but seeing as its TDH they'd never say that. It makes the most sense seeing as his "life from before", involved Ms.Leading who in fact was a whore. It also makes sense if you take the previous song on the album into consideration.
