[Intro: Andrea Ferro]
Standing like a scarecrow

[Verse 1: Cristina Scabbia]
I come back to life when dark stands still
And when nobody's around I'm like a dummy
Just a poor man's design
It's hard to spot me in a crowd
I don't look alive in an empty field
When there is no one around
I know it's funny how I look in disguise
But I've been frozen all my life

[Pre-Chorus: Andrea Ferro]
Dark celebration as I realize

[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
Aren't we all scarecrows praising the sun?
Here we stand together
Realize we won't bend or break
Until the day is over
Upon our fields
Aren't we all scarecrows?
We project eternal shadows

[Post-Chorus: Andrea Ferro]
We're standing through rain and shine

[Verse 2: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
I'm half alive but I am mostly dead
Under the midnight sky
A still life frame inside the gallery of time
No one can figure me out
'Cause I'm a freak of nature
I don't want to belong
You might think that I'm a failure
But I'll prove you wrong

[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
Aren't we all scarecrows praising the sun?
Here we stand together
Realize we won't bend or break
Until the day is over
Upon our fields
Aren't we all scarecrows?
We project eternal shadows

[Post-Chorus: Andrea Ferro]
I am a freak of nature
And I don't want to belong
No failure

[Bridge: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
But sometimes I just feel a little lonely
Hollow eyes witness every passing day (No failure)
Won't turn my face away from the sunlight
Through the thick and thin
I always had it my way
No, I don't mind about the odds
Bring on the judgemental storm all over me (No failure)
Resilient against all elements
Let the crows dance and fly above my head

[Pre-Chorus: Andrea Ferro]
We project eternal shadows
Standing through rain and shine

[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, Andrea Ferro]
Aren't we all scarecrows praising the sun?
Here we stand together
Realize we won't bend or break
Until the day is over
Upon our fields
Aren't we all scarecrows?
We project eternal shadows

[Outro: Andrea Ferro, Cristina Scabbia]
I am a freak of nature
And I don't want to belong, no failure
Won't turn my face away from the sunlight
Through the thick and thin
I always had it my way, oh
We are freaks of nature
And we don't want to belong
We're scarecrows
Resilient against all elements
Let the crows dance and fly above our heads
