Scarecrow

Standing like a scarecrow

I come back to life when dark stands still

And when nobody's around

I'm like a dummy

Just a poor man's design

It's hard to spot me in a crowd

I don't look alive in an empty field

When there is no one around

I know it's funny how I look in disguise

But I've been frozen all my life

Dark celebration as I realize

Aren't we all scarecrows praising the sun?

Here we stand together

Realize we won't bend or break

Until the day is over

Upon our fields

Aren't we all scarecrows?

We project eternal shadows

We're standing through rain and shine

I'm half alive, but I am mostly dead

Under the midnight sky

A still life frame inside the gallery of time

No one can figure me out

'Cause I'm a freak of nature

I don't want to belong

You might think that I'm a failure

But I'll prove you wrong

Aren't we all scarecrows praising the sun?

Here we stand together

Realize we won't bend or break

Until the day is over

Upon our fields

Aren't we all scarecrows?

We project eternal shadows

I am a freak of nature

And I don't want to belong

No failure

But sometimes I just feel a little lonely

Hollow eyes witness every passing day

No failure

Won't turn my face away from the sunlight, through the thick and thin, I always had it my way

No, I don't mind about the odds

Bring on the judgmental storm all over me

No failure

Resilient against all elements, let the crows dance and fly above my head

We project eternal shadows

Standing through rain and shine

Aren't we all

Scarecrows praising the sun?

Here we stand together

Realize we won't bend or break

Until the day is over

Upon our fields

Aren't we all scarecrows?

We project eternal shadows

I am a freak of nature

And I don't want to belong

No failure

Won't turn my face away from the sunlight, through the thick and thin, I always had it my way

We are freaks of nature

And we don't want to belong

We're scarecrows

Resilient against all elements, let the crows dance and fly above our heads
