    Why pamper life's complexity
    When the leather runs smooth
    On the passenger seat?

    Don't you try to judge me
    You're no different from what you see
    Don't you try to judge me
    You're just as filthy as filth can be...

    Like a pinata you crack open
    Your candy guts cascade in rainbows
    You decay in your own containment
    The sweetest insides are all coated with their filth.
    --Marilyn Manson

    I don't wanna be a suit
    I'm bored of these bills
    Got tired of driving halfway across town just to sit still,
    Well I'll follow this road wherever it takes me,
    I won't grow up and you can't make me..

    I don't know but it's been said,
    Life's a b---- and then you're dead,
    I don't know what you've been told but it sounds like s--- to me
    I'm going my way, I'm gonna cut loose
    No, I don't care, lettin' down my hair lettin' go of my blues..

    What ever happened to Saturday night? When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright. It don't seem the same since cosmic light. Came into my life, I thought I was divine. I used to drive around with a chick who'd go. Listen to the music on the radio. A saxaphone was blowing on a rock 'n' roll show. You climbed in the back seat, really had a good time...

    Hot patootie, bless my soul. I really love that Rock and Roll.
    Hot patootie, bless my soul. I really love that Rock and Roll.
    Hot patootie, bless my soul. I really love that Rock and Roll.

    Sinking
    Caught up in a whirling motion
    Such a strange sensation
    The currents uncertain
    Like sails of a mill
    I spin
    Like wheels I move in a circle
    While you stand on the bank
    Immune or evasive
    Throw me a lifeline
    Save me ...

    it always takes one to know one stranger
    maybe we're just wiser now
    and been around the block so many times
    that we don't notice
    that we're all just perfect strangers
    as long as we ignore
    that we all begin as strangers
    just before we find
    we really aren't strangers anymore

    I spoke to God today, and she said that she's ashamed.
    What have I become, what have I done?
    I spoke to the Devil today, and he swears he's not to blame.
    And I understood, cause I feel the same.

    "My thirsty wanted whisky; my hungry needed beans,
    But it'd been of month of paydays since I'd heard that eagle scream.
    So with a stomach full of empty and a pocket full of dreams,
    I left my pride and stepped inside a bar."

    "Sam Stone's welcome home
    Didn't last too long.
    He went to work when he'd spent his last dime
    And Sammy took to stealing
    When he got that empty feeling
    For a hundred dollar habit without overtime.
    And the gold rolled through his veins
    Like a thousand railroad trains,
    And eased his mind in the hours that he chose,
    While the kids ran around wearin' other peoples' clothes...

    Sam Stone was alone
    When he popped his last balloon
    Climbing walls while sitting in a chair
    Well, he played his last request
    While the room smelled just like death
    With an overdose hovering in the air
    But life had lost its fun
    And there was nothing to be done
    But trade his house that he bought on the G. I. Bill
    For a flag draped casket on a local heroes' hill.

    There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
    Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose.
    Little pitchers have big ears,
    Don't stop to count the years,
    Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios.
    Mmm...."

    Hello darkness my old friend
    I've come to talk to you again
    because a vision softly creeping
    Left its seeds while I was sleeping and it's vision was planted in my brain, still remains
    The sound of silence

    In restless dreams I walked alone narrow streets of cobblestone
    Beneath the halo of a streetlamp I turn my collar to the cold and damp
    And my eyes were stabbed by the Flash of a neon light that split the night into the sound of silence
    And in the naked light I saw
    10,000 people maybe more
    people talking without listening
    people hearing without speaking
    people writing songs that voices never share
    and no one dare
    disturb the sounds of silence

    "Fools"said I "you do not know
    silence like a cancer grows"
    Hear my words that I teach you
    take my arms that I might reach you
    But my words like silent raindrops fell and echoed in the wells of silence

    And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made
    and the sigh flashed it's warning
    In the words that it was performing and The sign said "the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls. "
    And whispered in the sounds of silence

    Simon&Garfunkle

    Recently performed by Disturbed, even if you're not a fan, highly recommend checking it out.

    Go lightly from the ledge, babe
    Go lightly on the ground
    I'm not the one you want, babe
    I will only let you down
    You say you're lookin' for someone
    Who will promise never to part
    Someone to close his eyes for you
    Someone to close his heart
    Someone who will die for you an' more
    But it ain't me, babe
    No, no, no, it ain't me babe
    It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

    You're beginning to drag the ones you love down
    Will this phase ever end?
    A thousand arms to hold you
    But you won't reach for any hands

    ​
    I don't feel like I'm getting through to you
    Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear
    See your mother here, her last painful year
    I wish you only knew...
    She stuck around for you
    She stuck around for you
    ​
    Maybe you should just fall
    And leave the world and lose it all
    And if that's what you need
    To finally see
    I'll be with you through it all

    "Jenny" - Nothing More

    This song really hit home for me when my brother was in the hospital while battling depression/suicidal thoughts

    "This chapel of ritual
    Smells of dead human sacrifices
    From the altar bed
    On this night of ritual
    Invoking our master
    To procreate the unholy *kitten*"
