Should I treasure the red
Or treasure the light
The bitter juniper is still food
Pull down your pants by the shi'ites
Tire my tongue over your gums

oh honey bee
Buzz upon me
Slip me a note
Oh God, what a donkey
It smells like Fallujah
A hammock rod
This shirt clings like dander
This kiss scrapes like rust

tiny, tiny paws covered in the dirt
Tiny purring sounds rising like a pike
Stabbing my hand a sailor
This last night of ours' pathetic
Tiny, tiny paws turning into dust
Tiny shining eye, rolling like a die
Casting my fate to the gristmill
This last night of ours
Finally I'm surprised

oh, tuck away those acient jugs of yours
Reaquainted with the brush of a skinflake
Cooped up between a jerk and a hard place
You sight your eye off the tip of your gun

tiny, tiny paws covered in the dirt
Tiny purring sounds rising like a pike
Stabbing my hands like a savior
This last night of ours forever
Tiny, tiny paws tunring into dust
Tiny shining eye, rolling like a die
Casting my faith to the wayside
This last night of ours
Finally I'm surprised

    "Quite incorrect"? Jeeze. The first verse was the only really embarrasing part. Besides that your precious xiu xiu trio actually had some things wrong, I mean "siren lights over your gums?" C'mon. I changed these lyrics to what I think that they had right over me. I'm still uncertain about some parts though.

    Also, I like the that "ancient jugs" comment, but judging from every version I've heard, I'm pretty positive that it's "drugs". Bye.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
