Lay back the love you took from that shelf
When nobody was watching you play
If someone knew what you were trying to do
They might think you got carried away

Is not a proper pauper's penny
just as weighty and good as any?
Does a hornet sting hurt less for you?
Because my dear; you touched it too

A mouth claimed once is a mouth to feed
Spring takes root from planted seed
All these charms with charges apply
We build as we live: We break as we die

Lay down lightly in ashes to dust
What is it you choose to trust?
The moonlight wanes as time draws near
Who in that moment bends your ear?

You are the storm born from the wind
built from the restless places inside
there is a path where tomorrow begins
and a price from which you can never hide
