This song is about the regret the betrayer feels, the suffering that Davey wishes upon them in "I hope you suffer" is creeping upon her. This girl is awake at night and Davey is haunting her, but not just that, he is feeding off of her suffering with a level of glee or satisfaction or maybe even a fake smile like all the fakery she used on him "never caring always smiling/here to feed when you are falling". The lines about drawing a line and circle of sand references her attempts to run away from the memory of him and what she had done. "Hide inside, call your doting dogs as their weak servility feeds your emptiness" leaning upon her friends or other men to hold her up like crutches she is grasping for relief but nothing can relieve her. These lines also imply, by "doting", an impression that she was probably quite narcissistic with many yes men around her probably because of her beauty or some such. Davey is also denying her his presence, he has removed himself from her physically, and states that she can't apologize, implying that she won't even have the benefit of relabeling some of that tremendous guilt. This entire albumn hits so close to home with what is going on my life exactly I know PRECISELY what Davey is singing about.

I meant circle of salt. Also those are her attempts to protect herself from the ghost of his memory.
