The rules of this game are simple - choose a verse from a song (any song) that has depressing lyrics, post them, and the next poster will follow up with another verse (also from any song).
I'll start (Johnny Cash - Hurt) I hurt myself today, To see if I still feel, I focus on the pain, The only thing that's real, The needle tears a hole, The old familiar sting, Try to kill it all away, But I remember everything, What have I become, My sweetest friend, Everyone I know, Goes away in the end, |

you do realize that's a Nine Inch Nails cover, and not originally by Johnny Cash, right?
anyways, the fourth track from Make a Change... Kill Yourself's self-titled debut: Is life just another test to prove me wrong?
Is this never-ending struggle just another lie? Are these shitty feelings just another fairytale of happiness? Are these scars real or just another open wound? Are these people real or just ghosts in the wind? Is this a fork or a knife? - the blood seems real. This knife seems to kindly touch my skin. This is dying not living. This is the border between life and death. Only death is real. |

Time for some Bethlehem:
"Apocalyptic Dance"
"In coldness of my dark bowel a yell after mercilessnessbequeaths a trace of eternal destruction to my decency Uneven throbbing shadowfire streams with raised melancholy through twisted channels of my forbode grief In the black storms of my mental agony the deliverance ripens in form of a godless dusk The faceless ancient grasps with stony miming into the cradle of mercy and severs the blood stained flag But still it seems to me that the lightbringer spreads a shining shroud over the shadow being of an owl which died in chains As the rock in me bursts asunder the round dance of the colouring grows up in my twilight" |

Life of Agony - Words and Music (From "River Runs Red (1993)")
"Is there something wrong with me?
Ripping through the walls Tearing at the doors of education Not that it's my fault I just can't help but sort Through the pieces Secluded from the whore I focus at the board-I'm out of focus CHORUS There must be a way There's got to be a way to overcome this It's these words and music That keeps me living, keeps me breathing It may not be much But this is all I got And I'm smiling It all seems so pointless The hours seem so endless And for what? I'd rather be working Breaking my back doing something CHORUS At least I have my brothers, my band and my lover What more could I need? I buried my friend the other day And I saw my life in a different way It was a cold afternoon for a funeral I did not she'd a tear as I watched the snow fall Is there something wrong with me? When did I become this empty? As I gazed down at his grave I knew that someday I'd end up That way!" |

Life of Agony - Unstable (from "Ugly (1995)")
"This cancer is killing me
As much as it is killing you If it takes you away from me I don't know what I would do Just try for some peace of mind But it's so hard to find It's so hard to just sit and wait And wait some more Staring at the door Skim through the magazines Pretend like everything's gonna be allright Although you know it won't be Unstable It's hard to be the one who's strong He's always got a shoulder to cry on He's got a shoulder for me When I'm about to break down You're (who's ? ) never around But maybe it's better that way You've got enough to worry about You've got your hands full, don't you Don't you see? This cancer is killing me Like it's killing you Mentally Unstable And all I really want to know if she's gonna be allright 'cause she's been in there a long, long time And I've been out there losing my mind You're scared You're frightened You're so afraid of what he may say But you try and be brave For me sitting impatiently In the lobby of emergency You burst on through that door with this look on your face I've never seen before You explode into endless tears Whisper in my ear Baby Baby I've only got one more year Unstable" |

Life of Agony - River Runs Red (from "River Runs Red (1993)")
"I got the razor at my wrist
'cause I can't resist I've got this fever burnin' fist That does as I wish But when I get downtown And see what's around I just know there's got to be A better place to be found I said oh, come on baby, oh, come on The river runs red and I think I'm dyin' Well I knew there'd come a day When my mind would say 'hey are you afraid' Well all I know is that I been down here tryin' Well, I'll bleed on through the night I suppose I'll be dead by the morning light No don't be surprised if you mind when you find me The river runs red and I think I'm dyin' The river runs red and I think I'm dyin'..." |

Life of Agony - Bad Seed (from "River Runs Red (1993)")
"Am I to blame?
If I won't speak her name, if I won't face her grave Maybe I'm to blame, maybe I'm to blame Since you're gone, I've never felt the same Well maybe I'm just a bad seed Of the family I'll get my sleep without tear-stained sheets And I'll never come cryin' for sympathy Well I need a place to run to Yeah I need a place to hide Yeah I need a place where I don't need a smile as my disguise Am I to blame? If I won't face your grave Am I to blame? am I to blame? If I cannot bear to face your grave And mother please shine down on me Show me that I'm not the bad seed Maybe I'm to blame, maybe I'm to blame Since you're gone I never felt the same Well maybe my mind's deceiving me But I think you took the easy way out You left me standing there empty handed As soon as you put the gun in your mouth So please don't keep on asking If there's something wrong 'cause you know damn well if I was fine I would've never ever written this song Am I to blame? If I won't face your grave" |

Some are born to move the world -- To live their fantasies But most of us just dream about The things we'd like to be Sadder still to watch it die Than never to have known it For you -- the blind who once could see -- The bell tolls for the... +1 one of rush's most underrated songs
