Husk

Fight the enemy, you'll never meet Like a dirty scuffle in a back alley street Taking us down, one punch at a time Loyalty and loathing they walk a fine line To build and then tear down It's just a husk! Nobody knows the frustration and sorrow This place of love so brittle and hollow Belligerent and tired, a hostage of mine Loyalty and loathing, they walk a fine line Grandeur and size, a great big surprise It's just a husk! Emotional blackmail a recurring theme The king of circumstance, the queens of day dream A war of neglect, attrition and crime Loyalty and loathing, walk a fine line My body's a husk, of it's former self Awake to the truth, exposed to the stealth A heart forever scarred, by patience divine Love and pain, they cross that line
