Loneliness & Alcohol Songtext
von Jars of Clay

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
