Effigy

[Verse 1] Just before the storm Just before the clouds rolled in I felt it It was something trying to warn me Tellin' me to raise my voice, shout help me [Pre-Chorus] Now I'm sitting on a balcony Daydreaming of nicotine The last time I felt safe with someone with power over me [Chorus] Tear stains on my masterpiece Vomiting a symphony I burn myself an effigy I burn myself an effigy for strangers I burn myself an effigy for strangers [Verse 2] When the air is warm When thе Santa Anas reap their havoc They'rе watching me like porn Waiting for my pen to feed the habit [Pre-Chorus] And I'm still on the balcony Grip the rails like Meclizine Missing someone cruel because he have the cruelty right to me [Chorus] My insides like an offering Of blood stains on bridal sheets I burn myself an effigy I burn myself an effigy for strangers I burn myself an effigy for strangers I burn myself an effigy for strangers I burn myself an effigy for strangers
