Rich to Rags

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Patience astounding Intermittent, harsh, and sweet Cardinal grounding Light the path beneath my feet [Pre-Chorus] Safety first, and feelings last Baptized aggressions of the past To lead foul beasts Experience points increased First month's relent Scheduled for subjects just partially present [Chorus] I've come to pass But never seem to stay I go from rich to rags In twenty-seven days The compass pact Is twirling a ballet [Post-Chorus] And now I'm hangin' with the big kids, and I'm broke And I feel like a baby [Interlude] [Verse 2] In the sewer of a section of the citadel I rise from the dredges, ring the bell I need a rescue, and I'm sorry for the smell Hold me up The whimsical weightlessness of an imposter Put me on a plane and send me home [Pre-Chorus] I won't escape my karmic debt But maybe you could save me yet Awoken as one Idyllic and whole A traveller made broken, undone Can you salvage my soul, or am I stuck like this? [Chorus] I've come to pass But never seem to stay I go from rich to rags In twenty-seven days The compass pact Is twirling a ballet [Post-Chorus] Now we're hangin' with the big kids And we're bangin', and we're smoking trees Hangin' with the big kids Bring the laymen to their fuckin' knees
