A brush stroke on white canvas
You're painting versions of us
Pastel colors, sepia love
Black and white versions of

Straw man burning down
Straw man burning down

I've been your whipping boy
A convenient decoy
Set up to be destroyed
An arsonist's man boy

Straw man burning down
Straw man burning down
Straw man burning down
Straw man burning down

To be safe everywhere is to be strong nowhere
In love and war all is fair so let down your hair
It's better to leave wanting to stay then to stay wanting to leave

Straw man burning down
Straw man burning down
Straw man burning down
Straw man burning down
