The Killing Jar Lyrics

Down where this ugly man
Seeks his sustenance
Down in the blue, midnight flare
A glass hand cuts through the water
Scything into his twisted roots
 
Then from his eyes
Spring fireflies
Breathing life
Into a roaring disguise
 
    Needles and sins, sins and needles
    He's gasping for air
    In the wishing well
    Dust to rust, ashes to gashes
    Hand around the killing jar
 
A soft hoodwink of shadow
The size of make-believe
Punches through his spike of rage
A glass hand cuts through the water
Snuffing out the magic fury
 
Then from inside
Bolt lightning cries
Swiftly crushed
The final, muffled sighs
 
    Needles and sins, sins and needles
    He's gasping for air
    In the wishing well
    Dust to rust, ashes to gashes
    Hand around the killing jar
