Effigy

Lyrics

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 lost stray, I'm coming home again Trying 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 lost stray, I'm coming home again Trying 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; 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 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
