Bell Jar Lyrics

And so you shrug it off

The burden of a darkening day

Only to put it on

And heap it higher every day

You put the kettle on

And let it boil o'er

Can't even turn it off

Can't even raise an arm

And so you shrug it off

That ever-nagging heartache

And put a smile on

By moving muscles under your face

But Inner-Voice, it howls

And paints the world a glimmering grey

And though you know it's wrong

Can't help but sing it anyway

God is a hoax, is a lie, is a comfort for desperate lives

Something is here, but it's queer to conjecture it lectures on high

Consider the grass that unfurls like a flag as the spirit moves past

Moving in you, as it moves in me too, though it never can last
