Scarecrow

I chained my ghost up in the basement Six feet back behind my eyes Some nights I think this house is gonna cave in Rejection has me terrified Now I hang from a wooden frame It keeps the crows away This is where I'm safe Made of straw and a funny face Turns out being fake can be a saving grace You can't kill me if I'm already dead Buried alive by the things that they've said I killed myself, but no one knows You're not talking to me You're talking to a scarecrow Who I am only put me through hell I'm bulletproof when I'm somebody else I killed myself, but no one knows You're not talking to me You're talking to a scarecrow I hid my heart up in the attic Stuck pieces deep inside these walls For every time I was ignored or called dramatic I'm only safe feeling nothing at all Now I hang from a wooden frame It keeps the crows away I'm better off insane I cut the skin to make a brand new face 'Cause back when I was me I lived to be replaced You can't kill me if I'm already dead Buried alive by the things that they've said I killed myself, but no one knows You're not talking to me You're talking to a scarecrow Who I am only put me through hell I'm bulletproof when I'm somebody else I killed myself, but no one knows You're not talking to me You're talking to a scarecrow Secret suicide, but no one can tell 'Cause I'm just terrified of being myself The real me's inside, but no one can tell 'Cause disappearing hurts less than asking for help You can't kill me if I'm already dead Buried alive by the things that they've said I killed myself, but no one knows You're not talking to me You're talking to a scarecrow Who I am only put me through hell (put me through hell) I'm bulletproof when I'm somebody else (somebody else) I killed myself, but no one knows You're not talking to me You're talking to a scarecrow (You can't kill me if I'm already dead) (You can't kill me if I'm already dead)
