Dirt Poor Robins - Scarecrows lyrics
[Dirt Poor Robins - Scarecrows lyrics]
The two of us are not quite fortified
With the battle of our lives on the horizon
Neophytes, we’re none the wiser
I can testify we won't survive
For are we scarecrows or sentinels?
Standing strong
Or faux men nailed down to a pole?
Will we ever grow a proper sense of panic
In a world so inorganic or do you suppose
We're straw-filled clothes?
For the way we were
Was the way we learned to live
We couldn’t give the things
We never had to give
But when we fall we might ascend
And begin again
Maybe alone we have no hope
But, if we run and see the world
Left to it's own
Heaven knows that if we flee
For our survival
Peace would leave on our arrival
Oh, no, we left behind our shameless minds
For the way we were
Was the way we learned to live
We couldn't give the things
We never had to give
But when we fall we might ascend
And begin again
Remember when you find my bones
Remember that I told you so i told you so
I told you so
And when my ashes fall like snow
Remember that I told you so i told you so
I told you so
Though they've begun to load their guns
As long as breath still fills
The chambers of our lungs
You will find a shouting truth
As from a turret
See if faith can stop a bullet
Watch the broken rise with stronger spines
They're Lazarus, the last of us
The comatose, '
The dearest friends we ever lost
Lift your head and see a
Tree become a forest
Our duet becomes a chorus
Awake and feel the rush of your own blood
For the way we were
Was the way we learned to live
We couldn't give the things
We never had to give
But when we fall we must ascend
And begin again
