lyrics

Sweet pioneer
You can't buy my smile
I've been here for many years
So wait for a while
Now you'll turn to ash
When you see my disquiet
You would try to buy it
If you could see me smile

The fates are unkind
They're demons I swear
You went exploring
And I was so scared
I stayed right here

Bored of your gracious host
You set out for the golden coast
For gold and the holy ghost
But which did you love the most?

Can't even wait 'til you're here
Seems undeniably clear
Fears were our loneliest dreams
Nothing's as bad as it seems

The more I lay quiet
I started to find
A change of location can't break the binds that tie you here

Sweet pioneer
You can't buy my smile
Well I've been here for many years
So wait for a while
Now you'll turn to ash
When you see my disquiet
You would try to buy it
If you could see me smile
