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
