I don't think I can feel any longer I only know that the void is getting stronger The only time that it's real is when you cry

Monster magnet ‘cry’. Strip away all the fluff and it’s a man and his depression talking to each. Wyndorf doesn’t get half the credit he deserves! And gravity well is a banger

I'm getting the sheet music of that lyric tattooed in a treble clef shape when I have the money, it's such an uplifting line on a quite sad song

Let me know the way

Before there's hell to pay

Give me room to lay the law and let me go

I've got to make a play

To make my lover stay

So, what would an angel say?

The devil wants to know

I'd listen to the words he say

But in his voice I heard decay

The plastic face forced to portray

All the insides left cold and grey

There is a place that still remains

It eats the fear, it eats the pain

The sweetest price he'll have to pay

The day the whole world went away

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking

Racing around to come up behind you again

The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

So if you wanna stay up all night We can hit the record shops Or just stay in bed drinking Spanish reds Waiting for the rain to stop It's passing through and you know that you Are looking like an angel now I watch you fall asleep on a dead-end street And the world is right somehow And the world is right somehow

Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here.

Right in two-tool

While you could listen to any Tool song and find something profound, this is just one of my favorite examples.

Too many to name. But the first lines that came to mind were from Love Ridden by Fiona Apple.

“I want your warmth but it will only make colder when it’s over.

So I can’t tonight, baby. No, not baby anymore. If I need you I’ll just use your simple name. Only kisses on the cheek from now on. And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave.”

I learned the truth at 17. That love was meant for beauty queens. And high school girls with clear skin smiles. Who married young and then retired.

Thank you. It hits very close to home; I've bad ocd, and have waisted many years self medicating until I got help; every good moment is mirrored by the thought of how much better I could have made it.

More recently, pretty much the entirety of Roads Untraveled by Linkin Park, but especially the end:

Weep not for roads untraveled

Weep not for sights unseen

There's a seat here alongside me.
