Scarecrow

Walking through the other side

With the devil trying to take my mind

And my soul's just a silhouette

From the ashes of a cigarette

Illusions never fake their lies

Trick cards fool the eye

Carry zeros over til they add up

Bury tears in the chapters you shut

Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell

And the plain's too plain to tell

All alone but living well

Scarecrow's only scaring himself

And I've been digging around

In the dust and the clouds

I see miles and miles

And junkyard piles

I wanted hope from a grave

I wanted strength from a slave

What gives you comfort now

Might be the end of you then

Crows are pulling at my clothes

The wind got my fingers froze

I'm standing all day keeping watch

Over all the treasures we lost

Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell

And the plain's too plain to tell

All alone but living well

Scarecrow's only scaring itself

Scarecrow's only scaring itself

Scarecrow's only scaring itself

Scarecrow's only scaring itself
