Is it any wonder why I'm scared?
If I was a little younger would I care?
Feeling like the walls are growing stronger
I don't know if this cage
Can hold me any longer

You never dreamed you'd have to
Live your life so guarded
'Cause they'll find a way to
Make you feel discarded

I'm not afraid of tomorrow
I'm only scared of myself
Feels like my insides are on fire
And I'm looking through
The eyes of someone else

I never thought they'd want me
To go even faster
Never thought I took my foot off the gas
Everybody loves to be in on the pressure
But I know they're all waiting
For the crash

You never dreamed you'd have to
Live your life so guarded
(So guarded)
'Cause they'll find a way to
Make you feel discarded
(Discarded)
So changed, you've become a complication
Can't make it through
Another day's humiliation

I'm not afraid of tomorrow
I'm only scared of myself
(Scared of myself)
Feels like my insides are on fire
And I'm looking through
The eyes of someone else

Someone else
Someone else
Someone else
Is it any wonder why
The answer keeps me petrified?
Is it any wonder why I'm scared?

I'm not afraid of tomorrow
I'm only scared of myself
(Scared of myself)
Feels like my insides are on fire
And I'm looking through
The eyes of someone else

Is it any wonder why I'm scared?
(I'm not afraid of tomorrow)
If I was a little younger would I care?
(I'm only scared of myself)
Feeling like the walls are growing stronger
(Feels like my insides are on fire)
And I'm looking through
The eyes of someone else
Is it any wonder why I'm scared?
Someone, someone more

    I have heard other tracks and its great. I saw them about 6 months ago greatest concert i ever been too. They sang great and the best part was they had 2 chicks go up on stage and strip and screw it was great. Shame they got arrested later but hey it was worth it. They sang Tomorrow saying it was off there new cd coming out and october and i was blown away I had to have the cd.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
