Effigy Lyrics

You grab the bottle
I'll hold the glass
we toast the future
and forget the past
you got an itch
I lost my cool
you ran yer mouth
I broke the golden rule

How quickly madness
called my name
As the wine fell to the floor

your darkest secrets
quickly came
spilling out with every pour

Blame the bottle
Blame the smoke
roll it up and set it free
Accuse the world
and crack a joke
noone's listening but me

(chorus)And we raise a glass, as we tumble to the floor
you can stagger on your thoughts as I stumble to the door
point a boney finger, or shake a fist at me
you can try to pass the blame but you need an effigy

(chorus)
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
and 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

(chorus)
