Scarecrow

Yin or Yang when the time is right A masquerade of sun and moonlight Driven by reciprocity The ruined joke of our society You're mind is set, but you lack all brains No trespassers on your terrain Tip the scale, cost-benefit A shiny crown for old king shit A stronghold with no defence The answer that makes no sense The nightmare that intervenes Within a lucid dream Letting go of an altruistic approach Bask in your glory All hail the mighty ego We are the outlaws With restricted, spineless posture Barbed wire persona Until we're weathered and lost Our eyes are open but we just can't see We shoot for stars that are out of reach We spin the silk of our own cocoons You do you, because I'm guilty too Senses fail as a bystander It's the price we pay to feel secure Along the way we've lost our souls I'm no stranger, but your shoulder's cold We are the outlaws With restricted, spineless posture Barbed wire persona Until we're weathered and lost Evolution comes to a halt Pay your dues, it's all your fault Climbing vines of irony An absent doubt, but we still have greed In this crowd you stand alone Reap what you sow, protect your own Stab the back of your only friend A grin, stitched-up, with means to an end Letting go of an altruistic approach Bask in your glory All hail the mighty ego We are the outlaws With restricted, spineless posture Barbed wire persona Until we're weathered and lost
