And so laughs the calendar
They domesticate and nailed up,
Like a hung haunted beast held boast in his time taxidermed for a mankind to pet
And so laughs the calendar (x3)

So you dip your scarves in iron
These are troubled times and so
(x4)

This time keeps taking (x4)

These are troubled times and so
(Making a plan)
These are troubled times and so
(Making a plan)
These are troubled times and so
So you dip your scarves in iron
These are troubled times and so
So you dip your scarves in iron
(I run, I run) These are troubled times and so
(I run) So you dip your scarves in iron
(I run, I run) These are troubled times and so

They always were
That's all time has his edge
He is our neck
He is our jep
Our jeopardy
Otherwise our most desperate
Most desperate (So dip your scarves in iron)
Most desperately creature
Like you or us and only longer, meaner, and most lonely
Meaner and most lonely
A terrible thing to be meaner than that (So dip your scarves in iron)
Like a corpse with the slightest creep
A creature of a specific and infinite
Not just a mountain on a cloud tip
Decade leg length built in here (So dip your scarves in iron)
It's working so I don't know which
A stab of adder or only yield to whip
What simple time cuts away from you
Self not actually may you not flash
These are troubled times so I dip minds in iron (x8)

Make you not flash
Unprotected neck
At such an edge
So
May you not flash
Unprotected neck
At such an edge
So
May you not flash (Iron)
Unprotected neck (Iron)
At such an edge (Iron)
So
May you not flash (Iron)
Unprotected neck (Iron)
At such an edge (Iron)
So
May you not flash (Iron)
Unprotected neck (Iron)
At such an edge (Iron)
So
May you not flash
Unprotected neck
At such an edge
So
May you not flash
Unprotected neck
At such an edge
So

    While I don't believe in God, if missionaries used this song to convert me, I would become a fundamentalist.

    While I don't attend church, if Sundays were spent listening to this on repeat, I would never miss a service.

    13 & God is my GOD.

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.
