Lyrics Rich to Rags - Pears

Rich to Rags

Patience astounding
Intermittent harsh and sweet
Cardinal grounding
Light the path beneath my feet
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
I’ve come to pass
And never seem to stay
I go from rich to rags
In 27 days
The compass packed
Is twirling a ballet
And now I’m hangin'
With the big kids
And I’m broke
And I feel like a baby
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
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?
I’ve come to pass
And never seem to stay
I go from rich to
Rags in 27 days
The compass packed
Is twirling a ballet
Now we’re hangin'
With the big kids
And we’re bangin'
And we’re smokin' trees
Hangin' with the big kids
Bring the laymen
To their fucking knees
