Hey there, I am living in a jar Does that mean we are all far Away in some other cupboard In the dark of the closed door? Try as I might I cannot prise It open not without some aid Try as I might I look for some But I can see help it was not made For me – in abject sadness I put aside all notions of escape I continue to live inside this jar I can’t remember how I came here! try as I might the memory has disappeared It’s been scratched from inside my soul I lean upon the glass looking outwards Is this where I pray for a change Have I been waiting for a cue or what? I am on my knees, hands clasped Wishing I was no longer imprisoned Inside my own head where splinters grow From past smashed glass, why don’t they go? I don’t want them they slow my progress They poison my new life, it is not necessary Nor wanted, nor needed nor desired by me. Living in a jar is no picnic It destroys love before it is born And sucks my life until I am worn. Is this compulsory punishment For something I have not even done? No matter for I have punished myself Roughly about a thousand times over. I am not satisfied unless I inflict pain Upon myself in every possible way I take out my heart and slice it into thin Pieces and feed it to the birds and fishes, I take out my brain and chop it into squares Give them to the local dogs home, I take my eyes and squash them. For I no longer need any of these parts Living in a jar. Living in a jar, I can’t talk to anyone And they can’t hear me anyway, There is no phone nor microphone Anyway what can I say living the way I do Away from everyone and everything If I could speak what would I talk about? How I hate living in a jar, no doubt!
