Let fall upon his back
The consequence of giving
Up all that he has had
To anyone who listens
In hopes that you'll let him in
Pull back the curtains
And tied at the edge
Cover the harmless in all the sheep's skin
I know who you are He won't see your hand
Reaching out for him
Never understand
How you've been waiting so long
I know, no one, ever, gets to control your love
So why follow anyone?
Every word he says is a lie
No one ever knows the difference
Now he needs to prove it to himself
To anyone
To anyone who listens
In hopes that you will relieve
Pull out your wallet and show sympathy
Tell him he's everything you wished you'd be
You know who you are (You know who you are)
He won't see your hand Reaching out for him
Never understand How you've been waiting so long
I know, no one, ever, gets to control your love
So why follow anyone?
Why follow anyone?
He won't see your hand
Reaching out for him
Never understand
Have you been waiting so long?
I know, no one, ever, gets to control your love

He won't understand Have you been waiting for him?
Why follow anyone?

    "This song was written after a fight I had with a friend and is me venting about them not being there. When you have kids you enter another world were you don't have time to do the things you used to do anymore, and a lot of my friends ended up bailing on me and never coming over my house or calling me anymore because I was so busy with my family. That's what inspired most of the energy of this song." -Anthony Green

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."

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
