The Midwest Quiet - Mason Jars Lyrics
All the things you store in mason jarsLike grapes of wrath and chinese starsSomeday they'll swallow youAll the things that tell you what to doLike magazines and sisters tooBut they never follow throughWhen I was young, I felt so oldMy body warm, my blood was coldI thought I'd push on throughI ran out of time before I knewhow to survive and what to dowhen people hated youYou used to decorate christmas treesYou thought you'd bring the world to their kneesBut you know the world won't listenThe night before I first met youI swore off love, and people tooor at least i wanted toI saw your face on a drive in screenUnder dusty smoke and insect wingsDid they catch up to you?Now there's cracks in all these mason jarsThe sounds of spring in our backyardThere's something calling youYou used to decorate christmas treesYou thought you'd bring the world to their kneesBut you were told the world won't listen
