Salt tears shatter this corner stone
We borrowed this time, on an overborrowed loan.
And now that this proved to be
A figment of some parody
The metaphor really holds;
The cards that we had
Should have been the first ones to fold.
And the withdrawal hits deep
A tolerance builds up at its peak
Now, when it’s all gone
Even with a king and queen
We’re left a sacrificed pawn.
