Effigy

she's a little girl like a tarnished pearl.
something's happening.
your pulse quickening.

would you savor in her flavor if you were me?
would you use her or abuse her to epiphany?
let's deny the rights of man.
simple sorrow, that's what's planned.
guillotine me.
i'll always be an effigy.

others came before but i'm not so sure.
she's got far to go.
and she'll never know

would you break her or mistake her?
would you let her be?
would you notice a crimson lotus
drifting on the sea?
let's deny the rights of man.
sick and twisted, understand.
guillotine me. i'll always be an effigy.

now she's growing up.
just what have you done?
she's not the ripest peach.
i don't mind in the least.

would you use her or abuse her?
would you tell her lies?
would you tell her you would sell her
at the cheapest price?
let's deny the rights of man.
simple sorrow, that's what's planned.
guillotine me.
i'll always be an effigy.
