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
