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 zeroes over `til 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
Oooh ooh ooh
Oooh ooh ooh
