lirik lagu lightning strikes twice - skull jar

[verse 1]
when i was a kid, i’d climb up to the roof
even though my mom told me not too
i would jump off and hit the dirt
and then laugh when i was not hurt

the news used to crackle over car radios
2008 recession, and middle east woes
(“three weeks ago, five soldiers were k!lled when militants fired rockets~”)
i was always high up, when i was young i was blind
no need to climb, we had left the earth behind

[chorus]
please leave me
crying in my skull jar
edgy on the outside, empty within

please leave me
lying where the gulls are
floating in the water, salt on my skin

i don’t want to see the real world now
turn back time if i knew how

but if this is what we live in, i wish my head was back up in a cloud
[bridge: michael waldron from the maynard community]
“a~a~a fellow teacher and the princ~p~l?! so i guess this gives you an excuse. now i have to get a refill!”

[verse 2]
we used to sit there, eating our lunches
creating characters, drawing their punches
we used to build worlds, covering pages
now looking back it feels like ages

and we used to learn about other nations
about our own laws and regulations
in our stories, a hero could always save the day
but in real life, the system hunts the heroes as prey

[chrous]
please leave me
crying in my skull jar
edgy on the outside, empty within

please leave me
lying where the gulls are
floating in the water, salt on my skin

i don’t want to see the real world now
turn back time if i knew how
but if this is what we live in, i wish my head was back up in a cloud

[outro/instrumental change]
we’re already going up in flames
but i don’t care about that sh~t!
and if i’m gonna burn to death
i’m gonna do it in the mosh pit

wealth distribution’s all f~cked up
but i don’t care if i end up poor
cuz i don’t want to be a slave for rent
so i’ll die right on the dance floor

so come with me and sing this song
cuz we won’t ever submit
we’ll just go out in a blaze
i’m gonna die out in the mosh pit

but they won’t see it ’til it’s too late
cuz they can’t see it from afar
while we were all not caring
they were hiding in their skull jar

jar
jar
jar
skull jar, skull jar, skull jar
