Loyalty

Loyalty, I'm a slave to loyalty
It always winds me up so tightly tethered
And neglecting my own endeavors
Like a dog, obedient like a dog
Even when I've been abused and battered
My loves equivalent before and after

And after all this time I'm fading
I can feel the flicker dimming in me
I'm afraid I might be changing
You’re tapping into my only energy
I will forever carry you on my back
And if my knees buckle from the weight of you
I'll crawl there if I have to
What will come when I've had enough?

A jealous man, is he a man at all?
I'm always flexing and acting so tough
To prove I'm man enough to hold us both up
Words, all I got are all these words
They can have medicinal potency
But dilute every time that I speak

And after all this time I'm fading
I can feel the flicker dimming in me
I'm afraid I might be changing
You’re tapping into my only energy
I will forever carry you on my back
And if my knees buckle from the weight of you
I’ll crawl there if I have to
What will come when I've had enough?
Had enough, had enough, had enough

What will come when I've had enough
When I've had enough?

Loyalty, I'm a slave to loyalty
Loyalty, imprisons me
Loyalty, I'm a slave to loyalty
Loyalty, imprisons me
