[Brick In The Wall]

Stone Sour - Inhale

"Come one and all and see the broken man
Talking to himself
He sits and waits for something better
He'll never find it here
The people touch his hair
And pinch his cheek, he can't even feel it
There it goes again, he's listening to someone
He hears the bitter laughter
And all he wants to know is
Why, does any of it matter?
(I can't take it anymore)
You've gotta try
The inhale that makes the exhale so much better
He wipes his hands on anything in reach
He never feels clean
He shakes at night because his nerve is gone
Every muscle hurts
Come one and all and see what happened
That broken man is me
There it goes again, I can hear it louder
It doesn't feel good anymore
All I want to know is
Why, does any of it matter?
(I can't take it anymore)
You've gotta try
The inhale…"

The Only Thing That Seems To Change Are The Looks On Their Faces....
How Will I laugh tomorrow?



Here I sit and watch my world come crumbling down
I cry for help but no one's around
Silently screaming I bang my head against the wall
It seems like no one cares at all
Always an emotion, but how can I explain
How can I explain
Kind of like the scent of a rose
With words I can't explain
The same with my pain
Caught up in emotion-Goes over my head
Goes over my head
Sometimes I got to think to myself is this life or death
Am I living or am I dead
The clock keeps ticking but nothing else seems to change
Problems never solved, just rearranged
And when I think about all the times that I've had
So few good-So many bad
I search for personality and I look for things I can not see
Love and peace flash through my mind
Pain and hate are all I find
Find no hope in nothing new
Never had a dream come true
Lies and hate and agony
Through my eyes that's all I see
If I'm gonna cry
Will you wipe away my tears?
If I'm gonna die
Lord please take away my fear
Before I drown in sorrow
Last thing that I'll say
How will I laugh tomorrow
If I can't even smile today
Today today, when I can't even smile today
Today today, when I can't even smile today
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today

Alice in Chains is my favorite band of all time. Some of the lyrics of Them Bones are my current title. Also the lyrics of Rotten Apple, Nutshell, Died, and Get Born Again really speak to me.

"Them Bones" lyrics-

Aaah! Aaah! Aaah! Aaah!

I believe them bones are me
Some say we're born into the grave

I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile of them bones

Aaah! Aaah! Aaaaaaaaah!

Dust rise right on over my time
Empty fossil of the new scene

I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile of them bones

Toll due bad dream come true
I lie dead gone under red sky

I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile of them...
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile of them...
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile of them bones

"That game of life is hard to play, I'm gonna lose it anyway. The losing card I'll someday lay, so this is all I have to say. Suicide is painless, it brings on many changes and I can take or leave it if I please." | Johnny Mandel - Suicide Is Painless
"Drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days, do what I say and I'll make you okay and drive then away, the images stuck in your head." | Elliott Smith - Between the Bars

"But you say I don't know how to love; I simply don't understand my life." | The Drums - I Don't Know How To Love
"She is everything to me, the unrequited dream. A song that no one sings, the unattainable. She's a myth that I have to believe in. All I need to make it real is one more reason. I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do when she makes me sad." | Slipknot - Vermillion, Pt. 2

"Learn To Be Still"
Eagles

It's just another day in paradise
As you stumble to your bed
You'd give anything to silence
Those voices ringing in your head

You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will
Learn to be still

We are like sheep without a shepherd
We don't know how to be alone
So we wander 'round this desert
And wind up following the wrong gods home

But the flock cries out for another
And they keep answering that bell
And one more starry-eyed messiah
Meets a violent farewell
Learn to be still

Learn to be still

Now the flowers in your garden
They don't smell so sweet
Maybe you've forgotten
The heaven lying at your feet

There are so many contradictions
In all these messages we send
We keep asking, "How do I get out of here?
Where do I fit in?"

Though the world is torn and shaken
Even if your heart is breakin'
It's waiting for you to awaken
And someday you will
Learn to be still

Learn to be still

You just keep on runnin'
Keep on runnin'​

 

[FohPah]

To dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow

- Bob Dylan, "Mr. Tambourine Man"

Midnight Moonlight
Grateful Dead

If you ever feel sorrow for the deeds you have done
With no hope for tomorrow in the setting of the sun
And the ocean is howling for the things that might have been
And that last good morning sunrise will be the brightest you've ever seen.​

I won't blame life


How sad I feel for the friends I lost
Who left before their time
How sadder I feel for the ones I lost
Who still walk this earth
For there are friends we made
And friends we gave our lives to
But there were friends that we never knew

And I won't blame life
Won't blame love
I don't even blame death
Just keep trying to make it a little bit better
'Cos I won't blame life
Won't blame love
I don't even blame death
Just keep trying to give you that little bit more

Like a plane that flies in a perfect line
And never touches down
And music that plays to a rhythm
That we can't find ourselves
Well there were times before
Oh, times I could have held you
But never thought that you'd want me to

And I won't blame life
Won't blame love
I don't even blame death
Just keep trying to make it a little bit better
'Cos I won't blame life
Won't blame love
I don't even blame death
Just keep trying to give you that little bit more

How sad I feel for the friends I lost
Who left before their time
How sadder I feel for the ones I lost
Who still walk this earth
For there are friends we made
And friends we gave our lives to
But there were friends that we never knew

And I won't blame life
Won't blame love
I don't even blame death
Just keep trying to make it a little bit better
'Cos I won't blame life
Won't blame love
I don't even blame death
Just keep trying to give you that little bit more

And it's OK
To say that we were wrong
It's harder to face and admit it once we're gone
'Cos it's OK
To say that I was wrong
But it's harder to face and admit it now you're gone

I Guess Thar's Why They Call It The Blues - Elton John

And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues

"As I lie here and stare, the fabric starts to tear. It's far beyond repair, and I don't really care. As far as I have gone, I knew what side I'm on...but now I'm not so sure, the line begins to blur." | Nine Inch Nails - The Line Begins To Blur
"Could I not take it in vain? Oh could I not fake it again? I've sent my heart away, like heroes in the rain." | DyE - Fantasy

"I've been holed up way too long, yeah I've been trying to forget her. How can she just go so easy? Now I'm giving up completely." | eli. - i'm sad

 

[Rinzing]

An oasis of loathing,
Surely this can only be a dream,
Standing here all alone in this desert,
I'm searching for somewhere else I could go,

 

[Skathon]

AngelMaker - "Into Oblivion"
"I have this dream where I'm in a field
Flowers and sunlight, a place so surreal
And I can see you standing just out of reach
And as I meet your embrace, you always sink beneath
(...)
Dances of this lucid dream are taunting me
Let the river take hold of me (...)
My vision is all but dark as the melody warms my heart
And as my final breathe now leaves my chest,
All I feel is weightlessness
(...)
All I know is you're by my side and now I can breathe,
For in a field of flowers I found blissful peace"

Black Tongue - "Parting Soliloquy"
"I watch you from across the lake
Where the waters remain forever still
(...)
How I'd be ready when it came to that day
But I am not
And every nerve recoils at the thought
That the vessels still remain but are filled with naught
(...)
And I hope to god the next passage on the waiting raft is mine
Please, don't leave me here
Between life and death and time
Please, don't leave me here
(...)
Death, take me home
Death, take me to the lake where the waters remain forever still"

Simple Plan-Untitled

"Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me)"


I open my eyes
I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light
I can't remember how
I can't remember why
I'm lying here tonight

And I can't stand the pain
And I can't make it go away
No, I can't stand the pain

How could this happen to me?
I've made my mistakes
Got nowhere to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me?

Everybody's screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I'm slipping off the edge
I'm hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can't explain what happened
And I can't erase the things that I've done
No, I can't

How could this happen to me?
I've made my mistakes
Got nowhere to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me?

I've made my mistakes
Got nowhere to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me?

 

[Notwinnernotawin]

That verse from the bible that's sung in Chop Suey by SOD: "Father into your hands I commend my spirit. Why have you forsaken me?". Because most part of the time I legitimately feel like God is just up there, sitting on a big cloud watching people walk all over me and enjoying it as if it's a comedy movie.
Also, "If I can't see the Sun, maybe I should go." by Thriving Ivory.
And That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore by The Smiths. I relate to the entire song so much.

 

[Green Destiny]

The Mountain Goats - No Children
I like this song because it resonates the futility of life and people. How life is bleak and or mostly hopeless along with people who can't or don't want to be saved (IMO at least) I even have some of the song lyrics in my profile post.

 

[lucid]

"I could hold your beautiful hands, and kiss your beautiful eyelids. Throw open your beautiful doors, and phone your beautiful friends. But it's all over. It's all over. It's all over, It's all over." | The Broken Family Band - It's All Over
"I guess it's just another one of those nights, when I'll spend way too much time on something so small that no one really cares about at all. I guess it's just another one of those thoughts, and I can't really find a cause whether it's all just in my mind or something more here in my life." | Cavetown - It's U
"I tried to kill my pain, but only brought more (So much more). I lay dying, and I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal. I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming. Am I too lost to be saved? Am I too lost?" | Evanescence - Tourniquet
"And now I don't remember comfort, because what I am is what I'm not. I don't belong here, it's just hopeless. Find me a way out if you love me at all." | Cavetown - Dysphoric
"Some days I sit staring out the window, watching this world pass me by. Sometimes I think there's nothing to live for, I almost break down and cry. Sometimes I think I'm crazy, I'm crazy, oh, so crazy, why am I here? Am I just wasting my time?" | Eminem - Hailie's Song
"I believe I can see the future, 'cause I repeat the same routine. I think I used to have a purpose, then again, that might have been a dream. I think I used to have a voice, now I never make a sound. I just do what I've been told, I really don't want them to come around, oh no." | Nine Inch Nails - Every Day Is Exactly the Same
