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
