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
