Allegiance

The going got rough and motherfuckers showed their true colors
Pick a side, any side, but don't tell us
Went from brothers to bitter in the course of a week
I'm pondering the good old days and hate to believe
We'll never have a civil conversation again
But trust is a sword that's double-edged
If one end should catch you in the vertebrae
Would you turn around? Lift the drawbridge for the sinking ships or burn it down?
All in an effort to repress where you came from
Real quick to come out your face
But when you change that rapidly you have to be
Gung-ho about organizing troops tactfully
I just thought we were so much closer knit
Then turning bitch over petty arguments

Who is your allegiance to?
Is the hype deceiving you?
Misdirected hostility misleading you?
Seeing due hostility at first
But you denied your old friend the justice he deserves
Lost your nerve, caught some sort of attitude
Pulled a jack move out of the blue
Like everyone I know I never really knew
But still smile thinking back on fond memories of former you's
When the mood wasn't every man for himself
Now you act like we're all not going to hell
That's just another repercussion of making bitter enemies with somebody you trusted

Who is your allegiance to?
Is the hype deceiving you?
Misdirected hostility misleading you?
Leaving the group, relieving your mood
Revealing the treason in you

Who is your allegiance to?
Is the hype deceiving you?
Misdirected hostility misleading you?
Leaving the group, relieving your mood
Is your point of view misconstrued?

We've been moved on with our lives
You're still arguing your side
Sometimes the people closest to your heart
Grow jealous and vocalize their disregard
And it's like "I knew I saw this coming"
But my hindsight is Mad Dog 20/20
This goes out to all the friends I have now
That I'll have a problem with by the time this album is out
Trying to escalate, we can take it there
But you'd rather spread rumors like a cunt
And only fakers care
So say you're scared, say you're confused
Say you've been blinded by your ego
And it's all you have to lose
Exaggerate the truth
That's all you petty motherfuckers do
I've been in your shoes, there's mad sides to a story
But ya'll pussies act so catty and ornery
And it's pathetic

Who is your allegiance to?
Is the hype deceiving you?
Misdirected hostility misleading you?
Leaving the group, relieving your mood
Revealing the treason in you

Who is your allegiance to?
Is the hype deceiving you?
Misdirected hostility misleading you?
Leaving the group relieving your mood
Is your point of view misconstrued?
