Do not forget to live

open the world in a bottle or jar
It will be kind to let you drink from it
it will welcome the human that you are
open the world in a bottle or jar
calmly undo the meaning of your scar
become dust and rubble before you quit
open the world in a bottle or jar
It will be kind to let you drink from it

If drinking alone does not quench your thirst
Unscrew the hinges, let it get some air
If the belly must live, kill the neck first
If drinking alone does not quench your thirst
Pulling stops to a ship may seem the worst
But buildings sometimes begin with a tear
If drinking alone does not quench your thirst
Unscrew the hinges, let it get some air
