Scarecrow

I wanted hope from a grave
Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell
On the ashes of a cigarette
And my soul's just a silhouette
I see miles and miles

And the rain's to plain to tell

Scarecrow's only scaring himself
Scarecrow's only scaring himself
Standin' all day, keepin' watch

Carry zeros over till they add up
Of junkyard piles
Bury tears in the chapters you shut
Over all the treasures we've lost
Beneath the dust and the clouds
Scarecrow's only scaring himself

I've been digging the ground
Crows are pulling at my clothes
Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell
What gives you comfort now

I wanted strength from a spade
The wind got my fingers froze

Might be the end of your vein
All alone by a barren well
All alone by a barren well
Trick cards fool the eyes
And the rain's too plain to tell
The scarecrow's only scaring himself
Illusions never fake their lives
