lyrics

the scarecrow
still wore a locket
from a time when
words still came out,
when promises were made

she stood perfectly still,
still straw,
stuffed with lost prizes
and time,
scaring off the
crows and men
in her mind

she felt the wind whip through that nothing at all
all her nothing at all
she felt the wind whip through that nothing at all
all her nothing at all

she named the eagles,
named the eagles up high,
in her world
there was calm,
an overlooked place
she'd been protecting,
no longer remembering why

her stillness
could startle
folks just as hollow or more,
afraid they'd end up the same -
so still

she felt the wind whip through that nothing at all
all her nothing at all
she felt the wind whip through that nothing at all
all her nothing at all

and there was
nothing much worth keeping
no one left to fool
or blame
she still named the eagles up high
