[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
