Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
Trick cards fool the eye
Carry zeros over til they add up
Bury tears in the chapters you shut
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Scarecrow's only scaring itself
Scarecrow's only scaring itself
Scarecrow's only scaring itself
