Burning Effigies Lyrics by Tigercub

Abstract Figures in the Dark

2016

[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
My burning effigy
Black smoke in mid-November
We burn in empathy
Until we turn to ember
[Pre-Chorus]
In my dreams anxieties arise in me
And pave the way for a truth denier in true denial
[Verse 2]
With patience wearing thin
I got myself arrested
Our wasted hours spent
Corrupt and disaffected
[Pre-Chorus]
In my dreams anxieties arise in me
And pave the way for a truth denier
[Chorus]
The truth divides us all
It's like I'm made out of stone
When I reside in the broken memories
That made you old
[Verse 2]
When there was nothing left
I heard you screaming murder
We killed an honest man
Just to remove a burden
[Pre-Chorus]
In my dreams, anxieties arise in me
And pave the way for a truth denier
[Chorus]
The truth divides us all
It's like I'm made out of stone
When I reside in the broken memories
That made you old
[Post-Chorus]
I've been trying so long
Just to belong
[Outro]
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
