Head in a Jar (Extended 1)

Verse 1

Shadow on the bathroom wall, mirror cracked and smeared

Pulse starts slowing, everything I feared

Rusted blade slipping down, silence in my veins

Memories like shattered glass, can’t escape the pain

Pre-Chorus

Breathing turns quicksand, nothing feels real

Hollowed out reflection, spinning on the wheel

Chorus

Broken jars on the table, filled with ancient bones

Head in a jar, staring cold, I walk alone

Cut me loose, never knew, how deep this sickness grows

Fragments of the ancient past, everything erodes

Post-Chorus

Decay, decay, it’s always close

Bones and bones, nowhere to go

Verse 2

Hands trembling, room spinning, can’t erase the scars

History in pieces, crashed, inside these empty jars

Something in the silence, whispers from the old

Blood on the carpet, secret stories never told

Pre-Chorus

Eyes become hollow, I won’t let it show

Spirit like ashes, carried wherever I go

Chorus

Broken jars on the table, filled with ancient bones

Head in a jar, staring cold, I walk alone

Cut me loose, never knew, how deep this sickness grows

Fragments of the ancient past, everything erodes

Post-Chorus

Decay, decay, it’s always close

Bones and bones, nowhere to go

Bridge

Maggots crawling under skin, circling the glass

Future feeding off the rot, digging through the past

Ancient faces looking in, mouths too dry to scream

Splinters from the memory cuts, ripping at the seams

Verse 3

Down in the basement, jars piled high with blame

Bones clicking in the quiet, calling out my name

Dripping from the ceiling, old regrets congeal

Head stares back with empty eyes, nothing left to feel

Breakdown

Lost beneath layers, broken and scarred

Buried with secrets, shattered and marred

Flesh to the dust, pain never far

Waiting for silence, locked in the jar

Chorus

Broken jars on the table, filled with ancient bones

Head in a jar, staring cold, I walk alone

Cut me loose, never knew, how deep this sickness grows

Fragments of the ancient past, everything erodes

Post-Chorus

Decay, decay, it’s always close

Bones and bones, nowhere to go

Bones and bones, nowhere to go
