I chained my ghost up in the 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 a saving grace

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

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

I'm 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'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

Secret suicide, but no one can tell

'Cause I'm just terrified of being myself

The real me's 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'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 (put me 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
