Verse 1
Went away
Gone away
Slipped away
Flew away
Ran away
Hid away
Now I’m cold, beaten, and cornered
And not in that order

Chorus 1
In a jar
Captured and scared
All alone
Way too far
Wandered away from home
And I can’t find my way
Can anyone hear me through this glass?
My voice is trying to penetrate, but it keeps bouncing back
In a jar

Verse 2
Going for
Looking for
Searching for
Praying for
Hoping for
Begging for
Now I’m sick, hurting, and dying
Don’t have strength for crying

Chorus 1
In a jar
Captured and scared
All alone
Way too far
Wandered away from home
And I can’t find my way
Can anyone hear me through this glass?
My voice is trying to penetrate, but it keeps bouncing back
In a jar

Bridge
I wish someone would rescue me
Though I brought this on my self
But now I’m just a bug in a glass
Resting on the shelf

Chorus 1
In a jar
Captured and scared
All alone
Way too far
Wandered away from home
And I can’t find my way
Can anyone hear me through this glass?
My voice is trying to penetrate, but it keeps bouncing back
In a jar

Sometimes, I think we all just stray from where we should be, ya know? And we also end up learning from it. You might scar, but the pain will heal. The scar is your reminder. Your lesson.
