We wrestle with tomorrow,
till tomorrow's in the past,
We can tear apart whats beautiful,
To prove that nothing lasts,

I have stayed locked behind this door,
To prove there's no way out,
I got lost within the states between,
The question and the doubt,

On an ordinary day,
In an ordinary way,
I have combed the cracks of virtue,
For a place to lay the blame.

I have hated I have lied,
been guilty and denied,
I've dismissed the ones who questioned me,
declaring I am right,

What if I'm wrong
What if I'm wrong

I have built a wall between,
What I believe and what is true
I have sacrificed the love I had,
For power over you,

I have hated those who disagree,
I have walked over the weak,
I have placed the gun within the mouth,
Of those who dare to speak,

On an ordinary day,
In an ordinary way,
I have crushed the minds of children,
With extraordinary shame,

and I have carried on this war,
No one wins an endless fight,
I have claimed that God is guiding me,
and killed to prove I'm right,

What if I'm wrong
What if I'm wrong
What if I'm wrong
What if I'm wrong

Is this soul worth saving at all?
If I lose my wings then surely I must fall.
And God will say, fall insane.

We wrestle with tomorrow,
till tomorrow's in the past,
We can tear apart whats beautiful,
To prove that nothing lasts,

We can stay locked behind the door,
To prove there's no way out,
We go lost ithin the states between,
The question and the doubt,

What if we're wrong

    Finally! Some new stuff from the man himself. It's taking forever for his new album to come out. Wish Lisa was backing him in this song instead though

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."
