Description
"Wanted to try something more abstract this time. I think you can interpret this song a number of ways and have each way be correct. Is the singer genuine? Sarcastic? Some third, more nefarious option? Is this a personal vent song, or have I just really been into knight metaphors lately? I hope the ambiguity of it all resonates with a lot of people." |

Lyrics[]
I was raised with an understanding:
Appease the wolf and you won't get eaten
So now with every sheep I meet I
Hope they like what I have to feed them
I'll rest my neck on the blade of your knife
You can cut me up and bleed me dry
I'll lick the floor clean when you're done
And if your blade gets dull I'll find you a knew one
"Nothing is what I deserve"
So I'm content to anything that you think I've earned
And if it's nothing well that's fine
I don't have to be fed all the time
I promise I'm not mad, promise I'm not mad
I just wanna give you all I have, give you all I have
Yes, I promise I'm not mad, promise I'm not mad
I just wanna give you all I have, give you all I have
I do not mind being subservient
In fact I glow in the light of your service, so
Tell me who I am, tell me who I am
I just wanna give you all I have, give you all I have
Dine at your banquet, I'll starve in my kennel
I won't ask for scraps, I won't scare you with begging
I'll take what I'm offered and know what I owe
And the debt that I carry will swallow me whole
And when you ask something of me
Know that I'm glad to be your right hand
Because I love to see you smile, to see you happy
See you grateful I can
Promise I'm not mad, promise I'm not mad
I just wanna give you all I have, give you all I have
Yes, I promise I'm not mad, promise I'm not mad
I just wanna give you all I have, give you all I have
I earn my keep doing what's asked of me
If I'm not useful enough, then who'd want me?
So tell me who I am, tell me who I am
I just wanna give you all I have, give you all I have
I know you're not a wolf,
And yet I fear the day you bite
So I will bare my nape to your blade,
Make it convenient for your knife
(Promise I'm not mad, promise I'm not mad)
(Give you all I have, give you all I have)
(Tell me who I am, tell me who I am)
(Give you all I have, give you all I have)
I jump at the chance to serve my lord
To carry your burdens, I am sworn
Yes I jump at the chance to serve my lord
To carry your burdens, I am sworn
