Jesse Spradlin - Close My Eyes

“But I'm starting to wonder I′m starting to feel I'm starting to question If this could be real

But, I don't want to close my eyes And give you a chance to disappear I don′t want to lose my mind By taking a chance and not seeing clear

Feels like I′m falling But I don't know if I should believe Then when you tell me you want me It seems like I′m living a dream”

Tool - h.

What's coming through is alive What's holding up is a mirror But what's singing songs is a snake, it is Looking to turn my piss to wine They're both totally void of hate And killing me just the same The snake behind me hisses What my damage could have been My blood before me begs me Open up my heart again And I feel this coming over like a storm again Considerately Venomous voice, tempts me And drains me, bleeds me Leaves me cracked and empty Drags me down like some sweet gravity The snake behind me hisses What my damage could have been My blood before me begs me Open up my heart again And I feel this coming over like a storm again, now And I feel this coming over like a storm again, now I am too connected to you To slip away, to fade away Days away I still feel you Touching me, changing me And considerately killing me Considerately killing me Considerately killing me Considerately killing me Without the skin, here beneath the storm Under these tears, now The walls came down Once the snake is drowned and As I look in his eyes My fear begins to fade Recalling all of those times I could have cried then I should have cried then As the walls come down and As I look in your eyes My fear begins to fade Recalling all of the times I have died And will die It's all right I don't mind I don't mind I don't mind I am too connected to you To slip away and fade away Days away I still feel you Touching me, changing me And considerately killing me Considerately killing me, yeah Considerately killing me

Nightwish - The crow, the owl and the dove

A crow flew to me

Kept its distance

Such a proud creation

I saw its soul, envied its pride

But needed nothing it had

An owl came to me

Old and wise

Pierced right through my youth

I learned its ways, envied its sense

But needed nothing it had

Don’t give me love

Don’t give me faith

Wisdom nor pride

Give innocence instead

Don’t give me love

I’ve had my share

Beauty nor rest

Give me truth instead

A dove came to me

Had no fear

It rested on my arm

I touched its calm, envied its love

But needed nothing it had

A swan of white she came to me

The lake mirrored her beauty sweet

I kissed her neck, adored her grace

But needed nothing she could give

A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys Painted wings and giant's rings make way for other toys One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more And Puff, that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave So Puff, that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave

When I was a kid, Jewel had a song called "Amen" and the end of the third verse (no bridge) is "Some are being beaten, some are being born, and some can't tell the difference anymore." It reminded me of how it felt being in high school where everyone enjoyed picking on me or complaining about me -- as I became more angsty, even non-bullies found me annoying and I just couldn't bring myself to be the well-liked person I was my entire youth. So I thought I was the only one who people couldn't stand and suddenly I felt like it was a universal feeling and not exclusive to me.

My friends from college they're all married now; They have their houses and their lawns. They have their silent noons, Tearful nights, angry dawns.

The Cure - Open

I can't take it anymore
This it I've become
This is it like I get
When my life's going numb
I just keep moving my mouth
I just keep moving my feet
I say I'm loving you to death
Like I'm losing my breath
And all the smiles that I wear
And all the games that I play
And all the drinks that I mix
And I drink until I'm sick
And all the faces I make
And all the shapes that I throw
And all the people I meet
And all the words that I know
Makes me sick to the heart
Oh I feel so tired
And the way the rain comes down hard
That's how I feel inside

I can think of a few:

"I wish that you would just leave,

'Cause your presence still lingers here,

And it won't leave me alone."

--"My Immortal," by Evanescence

. . .

"Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.

It slips away,

And all your money won't another minute buy."

--"Dust In The Wind" by Kansas

. . .

"What a relief it would be to end this all.

How easy to fly the white flag and give up.

But would I run today, just to die another day?

Give up now, and every fight has been in vain."

--"Stand Up and Fight" by Turisas

I have all the lyrics like this tattooed (there's more to come)

"Jesus won't you fucking whistle" - Sober by Tool I had struggled with opioids I was detoxing in my friends basement blaring music so he didn't have to hear me vomiting and crying when this song came on due to YouTube autoplay and it become the beacon of my sobriety it took me until 2021 to actually be able to listen to this song again without shaking and feeling the bugs under my skin again.

" I Don't Love You Like I Did Yesterday" - I Don't Love You by My Chemical Romance Through my sobriety I came to realize I really didn't love the old me that version of me was like an Ex that just wouldn't leave you alone this song really helped me cope with those thoughts and letting go of that part of me

"Come On Up To The House" - Come On Up To The House by Tom Waits I originally wanted the lyrics "Come Down Off The Cross We Can Use The Wood" from the song meaning don't sacrifice yourself for others we can use the materials for better things but the artist didn't get that part but it was such a beautiful design I was happy with the end product this song came at a time in my life where I was holding onto everything and it was weighing me down in every way and this song just helped me to accept that I can't let things weigh me down that it'll all be useless in the end so why not let go and come have some fun

"Spent my days with a woman unkind. Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.

Made up my mind to make a new start. Going to California with an aching in my heart.

Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

I took my chances on a big jet plain. Don't ever let them tell you that they're all the same.

The sea was red and the sky was grey. I'm wondering how tomorrow could ever follow today.

The mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake. The children of the sun began to awake.

To find a queen without a king, they say she plays guitar, and cries, and sings.

Ride a white mare on the footsteps of dawn. Trying to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.

Standing on the hill of my mountain of dreams, telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems."

Huge NIN fan here, but my fave lyrics for a while now have been - Only:

I'm becoming less defined as days go by

Fading away

And well you might say

I'm losing focus

Kinda drifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself

Sometimes I think I can see right through myself

Sometimes I think I can see right through myself

Sometimes I can see right through myself

Less concerned about fitting into the world

Your world that is

'Cause it doesn't really matter anymore

(No it doesn't really matter anymore)

No it doesn't really matter anymore

None of this really matters anymore
