Effigy

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
 I know I won't break, but if you want to take
 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
