This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Most days I'm burning in a fire
I got a cliche cold staring at my world
But these days the bird is on the wire
Two fingers pull a pen
Half drawn picture of a dream
And here between the writing on the wall
I try to feel forgotten for a while
And it's hard and I get angry all the time
But this is not a life I cannot change
And somewhere in the heart of the aftermath
There's an answer for me
'Cause you could have been anybody on the road to me
You say this time you needed answers
No time for second chances that we wasted long before
And I said you only see the problems
You're too afraid to solve
And so I headed for the door
And here between the writing on the wall
I try to feel forgotten for a while
And it's hard to see the shadow in a man
He is the last to see the light before it hits him where he stands
And somewhere in the heart of the aftermath
There's an answer for me
'Cause you could have been anybody on the road to me
And all this time your head is numb
And maybe you don't know
Maybe you don't know
And somewhere in the heart of the aftermath
There's an answer for me
'Cause you could have been anybody on the road to me
I got a cliche cold staring at my world
But these days the bird is on the wire
Two fingers pull a pen
Half drawn picture of a dream
And here between the writing on the wall
I try to feel forgotten for a while
And it's hard and I get angry all the time
But this is not a life I cannot change
And somewhere in the heart of the aftermath
There's an answer for me
'Cause you could have been anybody on the road to me
You say this time you needed answers
No time for second chances that we wasted long before
And I said you only see the problems
You're too afraid to solve
And so I headed for the door
And here between the writing on the wall
I try to feel forgotten for a while
And it's hard to see the shadow in a man
He is the last to see the light before it hits him where he stands
And somewhere in the heart of the aftermath
There's an answer for me
'Cause you could have been anybody on the road to me
And all this time your head is numb
And maybe you don't know
Maybe you don't know
And somewhere in the heart of the aftermath
There's an answer for me
'Cause you could have been anybody on the road to me

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
