Lakeside Loyalty - IV

Verse 1

Deep water hides the rot below the surface

Ten years watching from the bank

I was cut from a diamond

You were born in the stank

Word travels faster than these scum can run

They want to see the blood of everyone

Pre-Chorus

Swallow your bitter words

Or let the forest hear

I see the sharpened iron

Hidden in your fear

Chorus

No loyalty among the scum of the lake

They wait for you to finally break

Loyalty means nothing where the water breaks

They'll find a soft spot to stab you in the back

No loyalty for the shallow and the fake

Deep in the rot of the lake

Verse 2

Opening fresh wounds for the thrill

Keeping mouths shut is a chore

A backbone of heavy stone

I am wanting so much more

You think a friend is standing by your side

Just a parasite looking for a place to hide

Pre-Chorus

Swallow your bitter words

Or let the forest hear

I see the sharpened iron

Hidden in your fear

Chorus

No loyalty among the scum of the lake

They wait for your shadow to finally break

Loyalty means nothing where the waters break

They'll find a soft spot to stab your back

No loyalty for the shallow and the fake

Deep in the rot of the lake

Bridge

Never a local

Never their kind

Diamond in the rough

With a focused mind

One chance is all they need

To watch a good man bleed

Chorus

No loyalty among the scum of the lake

They wait for your shadow to finally break

Loyalty means nothing where the waters break

They'll find a soft spot to stab your back

No loyalty for the shallow and the fake

Deep in the rot of the lake

Verse 3

Silence is the only currency I trust now

Bitter taste of the reeds

Stony heart in a shallow grave

Keep it shut or the whole world hears your shame

I am the only thing that's real in this basin
