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.
