Burning Effigies

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
 My burning effigy
 Black smoke in mid-November
 We burn in empathy
 Until we turn to ember
 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
 The truth divides us all
 It's like I'm made out of stone
 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
 The truth divides us all
 It's like I'm made out of stone
 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
