Burning Effigies - Tigercub

Dreamt I was second-best

Just a passing interest

A waste of true affection

A face of pure complexion

Under a pseudonym

I dream of you again

Two different types of dust

Trapped inside a ticking clock

Karma will kill us all

Our charm is wearing off

Our god’s a made-up fraud

Our skies are full of scars

And they’ll be there until you’re gone

Until you’re gone

Until you’re gone

My burning effigy

Black smoke in mid-November

We burn in empathy

Until we turn to amber

In my dreams anxieties arise in me

And pave the way for a truth denier in true denial

With patience wearing thin

I got myself arrested

Our wasted hours spent

Corrupt and disaffected

In my dreams, anxieties arise in me

And pave the way for a truth denier

And truth divides us all

It’s like I’m made out of stone

When I reside in the broken memories

That made you old

When there was nothing left

I heard you screaming murder

We killed an honest man

Just to remove a burden

In my dreams anxieties arise in me

And pave the way for a truth denier

And truth divides us all

It’s like I’m made out of stone

When I reside in the broken memories

That made you old

I’ve been trying so long

Just to belong

Under a pseudonym

I dream of you again

Two different types of dust

Trapped inside a ticking clock

Karma will kill us all

Our charm is wearing off

Our god’s a made-up fraud

Our skies are full of scars

And they’ll be there until you’re gone
