The Loyal Kind

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

These maidens in the shadows

Bring darkness to the light

I know I've 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 dinners 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're 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?

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?

So I took one for the team

We'll call it self esteem

You took the irons out 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?

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?
