Effigy

A case of pessimistic world view

You say we gotta get away fast

I think a miracle has come due

But it appears we hit an impasse

A flock of sinners on a dark street

Adolescent dream and cheap laughs

We never knew if we could find peace

I know that I can never go back

I'm sick of feeling maybe I should have said sorry

Let it be take a rest

Your obligation's to stay here

And keep your head above just enough for you to breathe the despair

Feel some comfort as it crumbles at your feet

We all wallow in defeat

Hang each mistake at the gate like an effigy

I wanna break a law or something

I wanna ball and never need cash

Who cares if everybody's ugly

We're all rats just digging from the same trash

Let it be take a rest

Your obligation's to stay here

Feel some comfort as it crumbles at your feet

We all wallow in defeat

Hang each mistake at the gate like an effigy

In the meantime step on a landmine

Let it all rot reading past due

I wish it could have been a better story

But this life is shallow and boring

Let it be take a rest

Your obligation's to stay here

And keep your head above just enough for you to breathe the despair

Feel some comfort as it crumbles at your feet

We all wallow in defeat

Hang each mistake at the gate like an effigy
