I just wish to be
My Effigy, My Effigy
My one, two, three
You know I just wish to

Look at all these muddy faces
On the bodies that doesn't rest
Though I'm known to be abrasive
This skin doesn't come undressed
My emotions ricochet back
Then a bullet to my chest
And so I lay as a numbing carcass
Memories and dreams leak red

Too peacefully in the eyes of all
I am seen in my skin of bronze
To those closed eyes
Rapidly at the harshest hour
I begin to transform (can't stop this storm)

You know what it takes to be
My effigy, my effigy
My one, two, three--you know what it takes to
Be my effigy, my effigy, my one, two, three

Sometimes I look down
On you
My grace isn't yours to be the muse
If you can't stand with me
I may crush you hard
Too good for the weak
My empathy can't go far

At the brightest moon
My lycanthropy
'gins to humble and falter dramatically
In the mirror's eyes
I am seen, in this skin of rust--I take back everything
I've said anymore
I'm proven wrong
The chest starts to hurt
The bullets come undone

To be!
My effigy, my effigy
My one, two, three--you know what it takes to
Be my effigy, my effigy, my one, two, three--you know what it takes to
Be my effigy, my effigy, my one, two, three

I am so beautiful
Beautiful and unseen
I am so beautiful
Beautiful and obscene

She is the dream
She is what I need to be
Take her place and rise
The pedestal awaits for my..
For my transmutation
