    "The best liar told a lie inside a room full of liars
    The lie was so exciting that all of the liars admired
    When the truth walked in the building every liar retired
    Deception was defeated and deceit became deleted"

    what a beautiful face
    i have found in this place
    that is circling round the sun
    what a beautiful dream
    that could flash in the screen
    in the blink of an eye
    and be gone from me

    Listen in it isn't when you're talking for your name's sake
    Jesus, Mary Magdalene you are, are you okay?
    Sitting by the well, Jill, your falling down the hill, Jack
    And everybody laughed
    Don't you pray? Don't you pray?
    To a Cocaine Jesus in a black four-seater
    Got a man, don't need him, but you wait
    Call me when you want, or just call me when you need it
    If you only ever need it for the day
    High won't hold, won't hold, and I have no more
    Than all you left of me
    I have, I have, I have no more
    Than all you leave

    Keep in mind that a man's just as good as his word
    It takes twice as long to build bridges you've burnt
    And there's hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal
    Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills

    Pretty much the entire song, King's Crossing by Elliott Smith...I know the lyrics off by heart. It's a very cinematic dirge and he creates such vivid imagery with his lyrics, couple with the haunting instrumental, it's an experience.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmoPKlWDKRE

    The king's crossing is the main attraction
    Dominoes are falling in a chain reaction
    The scraping subject ruled by fear told me
    Whiskey works better than beer
    The judge is on vinyl, decisions are final
    And nobody gets a reprieve
    And every wave is tidal - if you hang around
    You're going to get wet

    I can't prepare for death any more than I already have
    All you can do now is watch the shells
    The game looks easy that's why it sells
    Frustrated fireworks inside your head
    Are going to stand and deliver talk instead
    The method acting that pays my bills
    Keeps a fat man feeding in Beverly Hills
    I got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenity
    And I get my check from the trash treasury
    Because I took my own insides out

    It don't matter ‘cause I have no sex life
    All I want to do now is inject my ex wife
    I've seen the movie and I know what happens
    It's Christmas time
    And the needles on the tree
    A skinny Santa is bringing something to me
    His voice is overwhelming, but his speech is slurred
    And I only understand every other word

    Open your parachute and grab your gun
    Falling down like an omen, a setting sun
    Read the part and return at five
    It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
    But I don't care if I *kitten* up
    I'm going on a date with a rich white lady
    Ain't life great?
    Give me one good reason not to do it
    (because I love you)
    So do it

    This is the place where time reverses
    Dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
    Instruments shine on a silver tray
    Don't let me get carried away
    Don't let me get carried away
    Don't let me be carried away



    Fireworks by Mitski is also another song, similar reasons to Elliott's song. Its a very accurate portrayal of depression imo. It gives me that tingly feeling in my chest.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-txILGo0SM

    One morning, this sadness will fossilize
    And I will forget how to cry
    I'll keep going to work, and you won't see a change
    Save, perhaps, a slight gray in my eye


    I will go jogging routinely
    Calmly and rhythmically run
    And when I find that a knife's sticking out of my side
    I'll pull it out without questioning why



    Also, another... Alvvays - In Undertow... the way it's written is pretty clever..and her...skepticism kinda resonates with me. It sounds sombre but actually its overall message is a positive one, Moving on... yada yada. That band is massively underrated

    Particular the line,

    "When you get old and faded out will you want your friends?"

    “I’m breaking my teeth off
    tryin’ to bite my lip
    There’s all kinds of red headed women
    I ain’t supposed to kiss
    It’s that color which never fails
    to turn me blue
    So I just swallow it
    and hold onto it
    And use it
    to scare the hell outta you”

    300 MPH Torrential Outpour Blues

    I can’t tell you how many ways that I’ve sat and viewed my life today
    But I can tell you
    I don’t think that I can find an easier way
    So if I see you - walking hand in hand in hand with a three armed man -
    I’ll understand-
    But you shoulda been in my shoes yesterday-

    "You got a way with words
    You take away the hurt
    And it's a blessing and a curse to feel it all
    You got a way with me
    You put me in my place when I'm petty
    Give me what I want when I'm ready
    You always hold it down
    Anybody else I'd be gone by now
    Does it really matter? All that really matters
    Second I'm with you, all my love pour out
    Serve it on a platter, all that really matters
    All that really matters is
    You keep showing up"...

    "Rising like the smoke
    You linger on me
    You got me so high
    I can finally breathe
    You're walking poetry
    It's what you do to me
    It's what you do to me
    Touch me with no hands
    Hold me with your eyes
    Unwind me with your mind tonight
    Speak with no words
    Show me and I'm all yours
    Show me and I'm all yours"

    May the good Lord be with you
    Down every road you roam

    And may sunshine and happiness
    Surround you when you're far from home

    And may you grow to be proud
    Dignified and true
    And do unto others
    As you'd have done to you

    Be courageous and be brave

    And in my heart you'll always stay
    Forever young, forever young
    Forever young, forever young

    Well, I won't make you tell me
    What I've come to understand
    You're a certain kind of woman
    I'm a different kind of man
    I've tried to make you love me
    You've tried to find a spark
    Of the flame that burned but somehow turned to
    Smoke rings in the dark

    The loneliness within me
    Takes a heavy toll
    'Cause it burns as slow as whiskey
    Through an empty achin' soul
    And the night is like a dagger
    Long and cold and sharp
    As I sit here on the front steps
    Blowin' smoke rings in the dark

    "I bet you never even knew
    I see the universe inside of you
    Can I make you feel okay?
    Would you let me take you to a higher place?
    No, no, no, no, I bet you never knew
    There's a universe inside of you
    Can I
    Undress you"...

    It's not that easy bein' green
    It seems you blend in
    With so many other ordinary things
    And people tend to pass you over
    'Cause you're not standing out
    Like flashy sparkles in the water
    Or stars in the sky

    “There is no pain,
    you are receding
    A distant ship on the horizon
    You are only coming through in waves
    Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    the dream is gone
    And I have become
    comfortably numb”
