Scarecrow - Braxill

Walking to the other side With the Devil trying to take my mind And my soul's just a silhouette On the ashes of a cigarette Illusions never fake their lives Trick cards fool the eyes Carry zeros over till they add up Bury tears in the chapters you shut Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell And the rain's too plain to tell All alone by a barren well Scarecrow's only scaring himself I've been digging the ground Beneath the dust and the clouds I see miles and miles Of junkyard piles I wanted hope from a grave I wanted strength from a spade What gives you comfort now Might be the end of your vein Crows are pulling at my clothes The wind got my fingers froze Standin' all day, keepin' watch Over all the treasures we've lost Sometimes the jail can't chain the cell And the rain's to plain to tell All alone by a barren well The scarecrow's only scaring himself Scarecrow's only scaring himself Scarecrow's only scaring himself Scarecrow's only scaring himself

Mary steers clear of the men from space Back alley kid with an American face She wants the wine, he brings a case To carry them on through I said you know what I know about the bedroom boys Undercover Russians in a pink Rolls Royce They bang the drum, she sets the beat They carry Miss America out into the street She sings, "snowman, scarecrow, john doe, buffalo" I wish you wouldn't go I got the arms to reach you, I am the scarecrow Do do, do do do, do do, do do do Oh, I guess you ought to know I got the hands to teach you I am the scarecrow, do do, do do do Snowman sideshow, do do, do do do I fell out of love in the snowbound days Riding the subway in a Valium haze I need the whites, she gets the blues It carries us on through All these American boys at the Park N Shop Selling their memories for a dollar a pop Ivan the ancient spaceman race fan Corners the market on American taste And says, "spaceman, scarecrow, peep show, freak show" I wish you wouldn't go I got the arms to reach you, I am the scarecrow Do do, do do do, do do, do do do Oh, I guess you ought to know I got the hands to teach you I am the scarecrow, do do, do do do Punk rock video, do do, do do do All the sudden the light inside you dies Maybe you're going on alone Maybe you're going all alone She dreams of sunlight, sings of smaller things White sugar bowls and wedding rings You're going on from me alone You're going on, you're on your own She was married alive in a Moscow surgery Hoping to die in a cold war nursery All of the kids back home believe in much more than we do It's a memory play where the memory fades Into pictures you took, into records we played Spy versus spy, scarecrow and I Out across the darkness where the bomber jets fly Singing, "spaceman, smoke show, scarecrow, Geronimo" I wish you wouldn't go I got the arms to reach you, I am the scarecrow Do do, do do do, do do, do do do Oh, I guess you ought to know I got the hands to teach you I am the scarecrow, do do, do do do Snowman peepshow, do do, do do do I wish you wouldn't go I got the arms to reach you, I am the scarecrow Do do, do do do, oh hell no, do do, do do do Oh, I guess you ought to know I got the hands to teach you I am the scarecrow, do do, do do do Listening on the midnight radio, do do, do do do

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)

Show me your scars So I can see who you are If your belief is too far You'll never reach for a star You know this love can be ours And we can leave in a car This place is dark as Jafar I said you're the only one So she took off her guard She gave me her heart She was into my words to see the blood on the wall She took off her guard Yeah she was into my heart She was too into my words to see the blood on the wall After the smoke cleared I was the titan Some body hurt me so I've been violent After the smoke cleared I was the titan I'm sorry love its the end I said i'd never forget And my disguise is my friend It's how I cope with revenge I don't connect with no human My house is vacant I don't have any scars More like replacement of limbs No do not kiss my lips To try to make me forget To try to make me regret All the things that I said I'm the one that you fear The beast that eats all the flesh There's nothing more to expect From monsters under the bed After the smoke cleared I was the titan Somebody hurt me so i've been violent After the smoke cleared i was the titan
