The Jar - Makari

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, oh

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, oh

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

(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, oh
