Effigy - Intellectual

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
