Pawns

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
