Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Empty shell, that's how I feel inside
Just a mask I wear to try and hide
The cracks are showing, the paint starts to chip
But I'm too scared to let the real me slip
(Pre-Chorus)
Rejection's a storm, brewing in my head
I'd rather be forgotten than be left for dead
This silence screams, a deafening roar
Is this all I am? Is this what I'm worth for?
(Chorus)
A scarecrow standing, guarding fields of fear
Keeping the crows away, year after year
Buried in this frame, a hidden secret cries
This silent suicide, disguised in vacant eyes
You can't kill what's already dead
Pulling through the charade, a wish instead
Terrified to be myself, the truth a burning ember
But disappearing hearts last less than asking for a helper
(Verse 2)
The world walks on by, oblivious to the pain
A ghost in my own life, forever lost in the rain
I built these walls so high, a fortress of my own
But the loneliness it brings, leaves me utterly alone
(Pre-chorus)
There's a spark inside, a flicker in the dark
Maybe if I reached out, I could leave my mark
But the voices in my head, they whisper doubts and fears
Will anyone see me? Will they dry my tears?
(Bridge)
Maybe it's time to open wide, to fling the gates apart
Invite the world inside, to mend a broken heart
There's strength in connection, a solace in the known
Maybe with open arms, I won't be so alone
(Chorus)
No more scarecrow charade, no more fields of fear
Building bridges of hope, a future crystal clear
Stepping out of this frame, a hand outstretched to hold
This silent solitude, replaced by a story told
I won't stay dead inside, a warmth begins to bloom
Embracing who I am, no longer in a tomb
No more scared of myself, the truth will set me free
Because an open heart finds love, eternally
