(Intro)
I can hear ???????

(Verse 1)
It burns my skin, it wants to keep me alive
I am the great messiah of the fallen paradise
Destroyed by my own creations , I cannot cope with life
The truth you think you know so well - it's just a big lie

You live to fear, you lay yourself to rest
Programmed to crawl, it's just a battle in hell
We are the prayer, can I break the spell

(Chorus)
We are the slime that kicks in the dirt
We are the plague spreading through the world
We are the disease - the virus eating away
We are no one, we're just living to die

(Verse 2)
We're just a lie, we're just a fake
I can't wait til I'm finally dead.
Erase my numbers and hope to never return again.
Computerised and we're all neutralised in a world
that's controlled by machines.

You live to hate, until someone presses delete
The things we do - it's just a battle in hell
We are the dirt - cannot break these chains

(Chorus)
We are the slime that kicks in the dirt
We are the plague spreading through the world
We are the disease - the virus eating away
We are no one, we're just living to die

    "It burns my skin, it wants to keep me alive I am the great messiah of the fallen paradise Destroyed by my own creations, I cannot cope with life The truth you know so well- it's just a big lie"

    pure fuckin' poetry.

    about mankind becoming too dependant on machines, and what might happen if we keep going down that road.

    also about mans self-destructive nature

    "We are the slime that kicks in the dirt We are the plague spreading through the world We are the disease- the virus is eating our way We are no one, we're just living to die"

    and we live in fear, but yet cannot save our selves.

    Ddad said it pure poetry

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
