Scarecrow Citizen Soldier

[Verse 1]
I chained my ghost up in a basement
Six feet back behind my eyes
Some nights I think this house is gonna cave in
Rejection has me terrified

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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!

[Verse 2]
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
