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 love's 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've got are all these words
They can have medicinal potency
But diluted 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
