The Loyal Kind

(album: Time Clocks - 2021)

These maidens in the shadows
Bring darkness to the light
I know I have fallen
I know I'm just not right
I've dug myself a hole
With the shovel that I brought
Did you think I was blind
Or you wouldn't get caught
With the horses in the stable
And the dinner's on the table
The wrongs don't make rights
As it says in the fables
I reached out to you
As I reached out to God
You were drunk on the mountain
Or you're blinded by the fog

Dark trails of brick and stone
Dark trails in the way you feel alone
I won't be around next time
I've played around with those tumbling dice
Are you gonna spin around and betray me twice
Oh, I knew it all along and I hate when I'm right
I'm asking are you the loyal kind
Are you the loyal kind?

So I took one for the team
Call itself esteem
You took the irons outta the sky
And put the irons on me
All the city lights and silhouettes
Did you meet your new boss?
I hope he has your back
When your new money's lost

Dark trails of brick and stone
Dark trails in the way you feel alone
I won't be around next time
I've played around with those tumbling dice
Are you gonna spin around and betray me twice
I knew it all along and I hate when I'm right
I'm asking are you the loyal kind
Are you the loyal kind?
Are you the loyal kind?

Dark trails of brick and stone
Dark trails in the way you feel alone
I won't be around next time
I've played around with those tumbling dice
Are you gonna spin around and betray me twice
Oh, I knew it all along and I hate when I'm right
I'm asking are you the loyal kind
Are you the loyal kind?
Are you the loyal kind?
Are you the loyal kind?
Are you the loyal kind?
