[Verse 1]
Reconvene at the vulture tree
Count a hundred and seventeen
Days I scrubbed at the stains
In the corners
What did you clearly say
Facing south at the river edge
Pulling a sword from between
The rock and the hardest place

[Chorus]
They tell me to get rid of you
I have to burn an effigy
But it didn't work on the vultures
So, why would it work for me?
The experts say to clear the pain
To set your memory up in flames
But the birds in the tree are laughing
They know its a game

[Verse 2]
Reconvene on the corner of Elm
Tell me I don't look sick anymore
I'm walking like someone clicked
Autopilot
Every car is a mirror now
Every street light is blinding
Stretch me out like a funhouse
And leave me crying
[Chorus]
They tell me to get rid of you
I have to burn an effigy
But it didn't work on the vultures
So, why would it work for me?
The experts say to clear the pain
I set your memory up in flames
But the birds in the tree are laughing
They know it's a game
