Zip me up in a body bag
Give me more than you think you had
Write me off as your compliment
And then zip me away
Break the story down as a simple kid
Peel it back like you think you did
A Scarecrow built without his limbs
Straw filled, but not within
I don’t need no
I don’t need nobody
So just leave me
So just leave me be
And just watch me
And just watch me slip away
Listen to me as I desperately
Try to hold onto my beliefs
A charleton built on revere
Oh how the gods have forsaken thee
Sympathy from the mezzanine
For the crooks built on lies through teeth
Better songs that they’ll never sing
Sung by rats who you’d not believe
A damning fool with a snaking tongue
Evil sleeps where you think there none
Nevermore will you ever say
Before they take you away
