lyrics

There's a whisper in the county,
A murmuring of doubt on the faces that surround me.
The horizon line is rising,
The scarecrows shadow is covering the corn.

The wells aren't running empty,
There's a flooding of the fields that has lasted most the year.
Cars are quickly fleeing,
As the scarecrow lifts his finger to the air.

Come are you are, come as you aren't.

From out behind the barnyards,
The wheat is growing rapidly and larger than the walls,
From the heads of wheat
comes a palindrome of shrieking to my ears.

The dogs are barking fiercely,
Coyotes in their dens and the crows are crying out.
And the passerine birds
Are signing songs of freedom to the mudd.

Come as you are, come as you aren't.

A melody is humming,
Song mans got his lead to the lines of the page.
There's a darkness springing forward,
From behind his back, and no resolutions made.
