Effigy -

You grab the bottle

I’ll hold the glass

We’ll toast the future and forget the past

You got an itch

I lost my cool

You ran your mouth, I broke the Golden Rule

How quickly madness

Called to me

As the wine fell to the floor

Your dirty secrets

Quickly came

Spilling out with every pour

Blame the bottle

Blame the smoke

Roll it up and set it free

Accuse the world

Crack a joke

No one’s listening but me

So we raise our glass

As we tumble to the floor

You can stagger on your thoughts

As I stumble to the door

Point a boney finger

Shake a fist at me

You can try to pass the blame

But you need an effigy

You hate the world

And find the flaws

You chew it up and wash it down

Are you the victim?

Or the cause?

Are you lost or are you found?

We shake our fists

We cast the blame

We pick our sides and watch the flood

We try to change

It’s still the same

We end up trudging through the mud

So we raise our glass

As we tumble to the floor

You can stagger on your thoughts

As I stumble to the door

Point a boney finger

Shake a fist at me

You can try to pass the blame

But you need an effigy

So we raise our glass

As we tumble to the floor

You can stagger on your thoughts

As I stumble to the door

Point a boney finger

Shake a fist at me

You can try to pass the blame

But you need an effigy

You grab the bottle

I’ll hold the glass

We’ll toast the future and forget the past

You got an itch

I lost my cool

You ran your mouth, I broke the Golden Rule

So we raise our glass

As we tumble to the floor

You can stagger on your thoughts

As I stumble to the door

Point a boney finger

Shake a fist at me

You can try pass the blame

But you need an effigy
