Makari - The Jar Lyrics

You've waited your whole life
In a jar
Complacent, gazing up at the stars

You count and count until
There's nothing left
Cause if you land on one
The rest are dead

And all the ripples in the universe
Are the wrinkles forming on your skin
From throwing your tomorrows
To the wind

We can't pretend
It's alright, it's alright
Until our aspirations turn to dust

Dreams overhead
Out of time, can't decide on who to be
'Cause one life's not enough

The spark fades, the spool unwinds
A truth as certain as the changing tides
Don't go wasting your youth
On a stifled plot
Just take hold of the fruit
Before branches rot away Eclipse your fate

We can't pretend
It's alright, it's alright
Until our aspirations turn to dust

Dreams overhead
Out of time, can't decide on who to be
'Cause one life's not enough

Approaching the edge, you carry on
With your collection of regrets
Singing a swan song from
The comfort of your bed until
It dawns that there is nothing left ahead
Just the end

We can't pretend
It's alright, it's alright
Until our aspirations turn to dust

Dreams overhead
Out of time, can't decide
'Cause one life's not enough

Transient

Patient, I lay on the pavement
And watch as the clouds sigh
Like silver lungs

Vacant, I wait in my basement
Avoiding the sunlight
'Til I feel numb

I'm fading with the daylight
To skies of grey
I'm waiting on the cosmos
To call my name

And someday it will
Oh, someday it will

I'm sick of writing sad songs to hide
My shame
Cause I need more than drugs to escape My pain

But someday I will
Oh, someday it will

Hopeless, I long for a moment
Of peace in my own mind
It never comes

Focused on thoughts never spoken
To share at the right time
Or not at all

I'm fading with the daylight
To skies of grey
I'm waiting on the cosmos
To call my name

And someday it will
Oh, someday it will

I'm sick of writing sad songs to hide
My shame
Cause I need more than drugs to escape My pain

But someday I will
Oh, someday I will

When there is nothing else
We must remind ourselves
That life is transient
To breathe the ambience

So when we reach the end
Do we wake up again?
And if I say my prayers
Will you be waiting there?

I'm fading with the daylight
To skies of grey
I'm waiting on the cosmos
To call my name

And someday it will
Oh, someday it will

I'm sick of writing sad songs to hide
My shame
Cause I need more than drugs to escape My pain

But someday I will
Oh, someday I will
