Scarecrow

[Verse 1]
I'm 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

[Verse 2]
Illusions never fake their lies
And trick cards fool the eye
Carry zeros over 'til they add up
Bury tears in the chapters you shut

[Chorus]
Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell
And the rain's too plain to tell
All alone but living well
The scarecrow's only scaring himself

[Bridge]
I've been digging the ground and 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

[Verse 3]
Crows are pulling at my clothes
The wind got my fingers froze
Standing all day keeping watch
Over all the treasures we've lost

[Chorus]
Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell
And the rain's too plain to tell
All alone but living well
The scarecrow's only scaring himself

[Outro]
The scarecrow's only scaring himself
The scarecrow's only scaring himself
The scarecrow's only scaring himself
