Take a bite of silence
Spread it like a virus
Watch the hour widen
Feel the pain ripen
As hearts growing calloused
Whose wall is tallest
Add it to the distance
A sweet tongue now viscous
A truth more painful than a lie
A hello more terrifying than goodbye
With all parties now listening
Two of the same are wishing
On a star which died many years ago
What remains is a shadow
Though they wouldn’t know
No they wouldn’t know
He remains as a scarecrow
Protecting over his soul

Your scarecrow’s having lots of emotions, and I really like these 2 lines
“A truth more painful than a lie
A hello more terrifying than goodbye”

Oh, in regards to that line, I’ve learned in my little time on Earth that it’s harder for someone to say hello to you in the beginning, but often people become complacent in the relationship, and in the end everyone goes away anyway without any difficulty at all…
