Yesterday's dinner's haunting me today
Blades in my stomach spinning
I awake with a fear of ??
Hiding by the stress of your love
I won't return your calls until it lets up
Oh, just one more season, you will be good

Tonight, oh
Don't even, don't even try, oh

'Cause when I'm concentratin'
On makin' statements
I will fool you into thinkin' we're fine
Yeah, I'll fool you, fool you, fool you, into thinkin' we're fine
Until you start to feel something outside
Yeah, well, you alone can visualize

Not worth the misery
A sordid history
The years of revelry
We converse endlessly
Those powdered lips that say you cry
You start to feel something outside

Tonight, oh
Don't even, don't even try

It's not me that was mistaken
For an earnest, heartfelt evening
For a moon-induced hallucination
Couldn't help but notice
Your eyes are losing focus
Such magnetism, now you're opposed
But if you're not begging for it
Then it's not yours
Once dependent, now no signs of withdrawal

Not worth the misery
A sordid history
The years of revelry
We converse endlessly
Those powdered lips that say you cry
Well, you start to feel something outside

Tonight, oh
Don't even, don't even, don't

Please talk softly now
No need to scream
The raise in decibels seems obscene
Please talk softly now
No need to scream
The raise in decibels seems obscene

Tonight, well, tonight
You sold everything you've been told
I apologize

    Yesterday's dinner's haunting me today Blades in my stomach spinning I awake with a fear of intake Heightened by the stress of your love I won't return your calls until it lets up Oh, just one more season, you will be good

    Tonight, oh Don't even, don't even try, oh

    When I'm concentratin' on makin' statements That will fool you into thinkin' we're fine Yeah, they'll fool you, fool you, fool you, into thinkin' we're fine Until you start to feel something outside Beyond what you alone can visualize

    Not worth the misery Our sorted history Years of revelry We'd converse endlessly Those pouted lips that say you'd cry Won't you start to feel something outside

    Tonight, oh Don't even, don't even try

    This libido was mistaken For an earnest, heartfelt evening For a moon-induced hallucination Couldn't help but notice Your eyes are losing focus Such magnetism, now you're repulsed But if you're not begging for it Then it's not yours Once dependent, now no signs of withdrawal

    Not worth the misery Our sorted history Years of revelry We'd converse endlessly Those pouted lips that say you'd cry Won't you start to feel something outside

    Tonight, oh Don't even, don't even, don't

    Please talk softly now No need to scream The raise in decibels seems obsence Please talk softly now No need to scream The raise in decibels seems obsence

    Tonight, well, tonight If your sold on everything you've been told I apologize

    Agreed. It's beyond me how they aren't incredibly mainstream yet. They're amazing and this album is better than I hope for. Everyone should buy it.

    "Written at the end of a relationship, kind of the denial stage at the tail end of a relationship, when you try to recapture what was there in the beginning, but unsuccessfully."

    My apologies, comment above is for the FAR MORE. the following is for APOLOGIZE

    "It’s a sarcastic look on love coming from an unfaithful male who, though he does love his girl, he loves his other women as well. He’s been through so much already and for her it’s the first time she’s felt love so intense, kind of a perspective I would’ve had about 10 years ago."

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Dreamwalker
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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
