Scarecrow

Walking to the other side

With the devil trying to take my mind

And my soul's just a silhouette

On the ashes of a cigarette

Illusions never fake their lives

Trick cards fool the eyes

Carry zeroes over 'til they add up

Bury tears in the chapters you shut

Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell

And the rain's too plain to tell

All alone by a barren well

Scarecrow's only scaring himself

I've been digging the ground

Beneath the dust and the clouds

I see miles and miles

junkyard Of piles

I wanted hope from a grave

I wanted strength from a spade

What gives you comfort now

Might be the end of your vein

Crows are pulling at my clothes

The wind got my fingers froze

Standin' all day, keepin' watch

Overall the treasures we've lost

Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell

And the rain's to plain to tell

All alone by a barren well

The scarecrow's only scaring himself

Oooh ooh ooh

Scarecrow's only scaring himself

Scarecrow's only scaring himself

Scarecrow's only scaring himself
