Effigy

(album: Souvenir - 2014)

I watched the sun cut through your bedroom
And make its way across the floor
I drifted off to somewhere and back to where you are
The lights are up
We made it through the bars

Like a stray, I'm coming home again
Try to fly straight
But every now and then life becomes grey
And it takes a lot of sin to feel alive on the streets here at night

But nothing's ever lost forever
I'll find my way up off the floor
But even on my best days I'm half of who you are
I fucked it up, and I can't wash away the scars

Like a stray, I'm coming home again
Try to fly straight
But every now and then life becomes grey
And it takes a lot of sin to feel alive on the streets here at night

I know I won't break, but if you want to take
All I have we'll burn it up in effigy
It's been a tail spin; I'll reap the whirlwind
I'll play a new part; I'll make a new start
All I was we'll burn it up in effigy
It's such a long war, but what I want more is you and me
The rest can burn in effigy

I know we won't break, but if you want to take
All I have we'll burn it up in effigy
It's been a tail spin; It's been a whirlwind
I'll play a new part; I'll make a new start
All I was we'll burn it up in effigy
It's such a long war, but what I want more is you and me
The rest can burn in effigy
