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
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 your saving grace
You can't kill me if I'm already dead
Buried alive by the things that they 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
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 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 is 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 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 (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
