I answer with a restless ok but I'm about to blow when you're gone
I keep this to myself; a restless ok but I fear the dawn
I've never been afraid to hide up in the dark
It's the first morning stream of pure light that makes me rather swim with the sharks
And it'll make me say I'm ok even though it hurts more if I stay
And I'm ok. Yes, I'm ok. If that'll make your questions go away

I'm a vampire, I'm a vampire
I'm afraid the light will set me on fire
I'm a vampire, I'm a vampire
I'm afraid the light will set me on fire

I'm cold, I'm cold, in a way I just want to stay
And I'm cold, I'm stone cold, this way

I'm a vampire, I'm a vampire
I'm afraid the light will set me on fire
I'm a vampire, I'm a vampire
I'm afraid the light will set me on fire

Reckon I'll close the door
Just pull down the curtains stay close to the floor
Mercy is for the weak; we do not train to be merciful here
Mercy is everything I fear; we do not train to see mercy here

Crawling again
The heart is screaming with a smile
Pride says no because of the stain
The heart pounds for love, but pride says no
Because of what the heart is longing for
I'm not sure, I'm not sure I want to be a man anymore

I'm a vampire, I'm a vampire
I'm afraid the light will set me on fire
I'm a vampire, I'm a vampire
I'm afraid the light will set me on fire

Reckon I'll close the door
Just pull down the curtains stay close to the floor
Mercy is for the weak; we do not train to be merciful here
Mercy is everything I fear; we do not train to see mercy here

The heart pounds for love, but pride says no
Because of what the heart is longing for
I'm not sure, I'm not sure I want to be a man anymore

I'm a vampire, I'm a vampire
I'm afraid the light will set me on fire
I'm a vampire, I'm a vampire
I'm afraid the light will set me on fire

This choice I've got to make,
I've got to make alone
A heart of stone
A heart of stone
This choice I've got to make
I've got to make it true
A heart broken in two

This choice I've got to make,
I've got to make alone
A heart of stone
A heart of stone

Reckon I'll close the door
Just pull down the curtains stay close to the floor
Mercy is for the weak; we do not train to be merciful here
Mercy is everything I fear; we do not train to see mercy here

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.
