Pawns for a pauper's son

Handouts for everyone

Please release me with your smile



Ashes to dust again

Save that for mortal men

Please release me with your smile



And when I rise

And when you fall

That's the part

that weighs me down

The part that weighs me down



You are your own worst fears

Save them throughout the years

Please deceive me

with your smile



Anxious to understand

Who has the upper hand

Please believe me

if it takes awhile
