Pawn



Within the dark she knows me well

it's where I hide, it's where I dwell

you cannot blame me, though

for living what I know

 

paint me up, dress me down

feed me lies, watch me drown

take away all sense of time

reduce me to a pantomime

 

silent cries or deaf of ear

the story of an unchecked tear

I travel through the darken night

she denies me her moonlight

 

past to future, dusk to dawn

it's all the same, the heart's a pawn

I give it up, the ultimate price

and roam the alleys of sacrifice.
