​pawn

[Intro]
Haha, ayy malloy is it you again?
​sorrow bringer

[Chorus]
Got tripwire hooks where I'm standing
They taunt me 'cause I'm too outlandish
I'll scorch their skin like a god damn dragon
They ask me "Autie, how the fuck do you manage?"

[Verse 1]
Told me I reap what I sow
I ain't do shit, I'm on the go
So many people I don't even know
Wishing me well, I just wanna compose
Write me a eulogy, be sure to show
All that I overcame way down the road
You wouldn't believe it coming from the mouth of the one
Who's already been disposed
It's like I'm here and I can't take it
I'll set off a flare on my tongue till I'm breaking
And she don't hit up my line, but I get it
We're one in the same, I love isolation
I'm living in a masquerade
My mind had mutated from it's radiation
I know me best when it hits dusk
But then I'm falling off by dawn
This patience forsaken me, heartless and gone
So I stay prolonged, well, more so I'm stunned
This madness that was casted, I honestly love

[Chorus]
Got tripwire hooks where I'm standing
They taunt me 'cause I'm too outlandish
I'll scorch their skin like a god damn dragon
They ask me "Autie, how the fuck do you manage?"

[Verse 2]
Hate in my veins, I do not self-proclaim
Bit the metal in my mouth, I'm pouring red right outta my face
Empty tank, but I'm up, I'm exhausted and I rank
For every fodder, it's our father
That'll grant you heavy rain
It's too calm for such an uneventful evening
My stomach's in the corner teething
Scold me as my breath's depleting
I guess that you ain't understand the first time
I ain't gonna run it back, there's way too many landmines
I'm numbing to nostalgia
That's the only thing that's kept me in a safe space
I'm sick of feeling stuck inside the same place

[Chorus]
Got tripwire hooks where I'm standing
They taunt me 'cause I'm too outlandish
I'll scorch their skin like a god damn dragon
They ask me "Autie, how the fuck do you manage?"

[Verse 3]
This is not where I belong
There's piranhas in the pond
Pawn, pawn, pawn-paw-paw-p-p-p
Fuck, I need a challenger
I'm up so early, I'm my own manager
Even if my name is someone's you haven't heard
They'd still wanna rip me out of the fucking earth
These scissors and wine are combining
Shut the fuck up, let me get back to dining
The taste of acceptance is oh so refreshing
When mixed in with vengeance, old habits are tempting

[Outro]
They ask me "Autie, how the fuck do you manage?"
