TALKIN' 2 MYSELF (ayumi hamasaki)

Reality always / Plays cruel pranks and leads us in circles / But look, in that midst / An answer just for you lies hidden / If you have any unsatisfied feelings / Those are created by none other than / Your own two hands

I DON'T WANT ETERNITY ETERNALLY (tatsuya kitani)

Even if these hands tremble, the future is changing / I don't care if today is the last day / I want to be staring one second ahead / Even a cursed destiny / I'll continue to resist, eternally

Or bring your own!

* Say, John Mayer.
"Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you'd be better off instead
If you could only
Say what you need to say."

*Here we go again - Beth Crowley
"Just when I think I’m done
I’m halfway out the door
You pull me in again
Promising to give me more
Yet I’m still surprised every time that I get hurt"

*All The Kings Horses, Karmina.
"I knock the ice from my bones
Try not to feel the cold
Caught in the thought of that time
When everything was fine"

Mili - In Hell We Live, Lament feat. KIHOW from MYTH & ROID (cw: cannibalism/body horror references in lyrics)
Then I realized / someone's heaven could be the source of my torment
Life is allowing yourself / allowing yourself to step on fire / (Life is to consume) / (Life is to become food for each other)
Shed tears on bloodied routes / (No matter evil or good) / (Life is fairness, life is inequality) / Eternally in hell / (Life is in the motion) / We live by default


VNV Nation - Cold
Let your blood run through my veins / blade shall numb you from the pain / no tomorrows / just submittance / no remorse of self indulgence
Let me be the one you need / I shall be the one you feed / all I am and all you see / is all I will and ever be


LUNA SEA - TRUE BLUE
In a loneliness that threatens to consume me / I aimlessly count stars
In my unsatisfied feelings / I embrace this half-finished puzzle
In the empty night outside the window / a shadow falls upon the glittering city
The hands of the clock madly whisper silence

Gentle Giant - Just the Same
Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do?
Nothing more and nothing less than you
Read no thoughts, I didn't think myself
Just the same as anybody else


half•alive - Creature
I know I'm made of clay that's worn
Blinded by imperfect form
But I will trust the artist molding me
In a room that's growing dim
Illuminated from within
The pull of tension's empathy

I am creation, both haunted and holy
Made in glory
Even the depths of the night cannot blind me
When You guide me


Rob Dougan - Born Yesterday
And she thinks that I was born in another age
She thinks that I get up with the sun and dream my life away
And she thinks 'cause I'm saying nothing that I've got nothing to say
Just 'cause I smile like a child born yesterday
