Scarecrow
Klone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bound and gagged
Blindfolded
Tortured and
So abused
Paralyzed
Mesmerized
Tied up in barbwire
My pride
Integrity
Self esteem
Sanity
Ripped apart
Scared for life
These wounds will not heal

You made me your fucking scapegoat
I'll become your scarecrow

Submitted
But conscious
I swallowed
My anger
As you raped
My innocence
'til I broke the leach

Nothing
Can ease
My pain
Now I've
Found my
Antidote
You will taste my poison

You made me your fucking scapegoat
I'll become your scarecrow

I'm no longer your fucking slave, you see
The puppet has grown up
The strings are gone, I'm free
You ain't shit to me
You always used to be
I spit on your name
I'll piss on your grave

Rage
Revenge
Punishment





(I'll become your scarecrow)
