Scarecrow

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I put my faith in the absence of something better If it doesn't fit, then it's out of reach for me I'm a tightly wound mess neatly perched inside my own distress And your talk of freedom that means nothing to me And then you say [Chorus] How are we ever gonna know if there's something better? Is the only way to know ourselves to go too far? [Verse 2] I spend my days in the fear one day the wind will blow me away The only thing that keeps me here Are these strings of mine that hold me down I watch the rise and the fall of a thousand days It means nothing to me 'Cause I've been promised redemption for lifetime Wasted in these golden fields [Verse 3] So far, so good, so many promises Swinging in the wind, direction's something that I can't control Creation eludes me, it's all just waiting time here in this field Nothing but a scarecrow waiting for the world to tear me down [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] How are we ever gonna know if there's something better? How are we gonna come to be the same if we come too far to realize How are we ever gonna become something better than what we've become? Or are we just scarecrows waiting For the wind to blow us down
