Lyrics Jars of Clay

Jars of Clay

Loneliness & Alcohol

The sound of television creeping through the halls

Left in the wild like a tree pulled from the dirt

You fill the sky with burning arrows from your heart

Throw your bottles out to sea and watch them float away

Tell me of the world you're leaving

While you're swinging like a wrecking ball

You bury all your love in secrets

And loneliness in alcohol

Hide your diamonds in the dirt in careful rows

Let your doubt unravel all their, all their pretty bows

'Cause your heart is broken by the things you love

And your light, it carries but it's not enough to change the weather

Tell me of the world you're leaving

While you're swinging like a wrecking ball

Bury all your love in secrets

And loneliness in alcohol

You get buried under all this light, all these lines, all these lies

You get buried under all these lines, all this light, all the time

Tell me of the world you're leaving

While you're swinging like a wrecking ball

Bury all your love in secrets

And loneliness in alcohol

Tell me of the world you're leaving

While you're swing like a wrecking ball

Bury all your love in secrets

And loneliness in alcohol
