Any from Daylight Dies, but especially No Reply and Dismantling Devotion.
Excerpt from Unending Waves:
I have memories Clouded by sorrow Of a time in life When blood ran though my veins
But these walls keep closing Suffocating And now I'm trapped beneath The weight of my own loss
Excerpt from A Life Less Lived:
White stained read of vacant eyes The hollow dreams of a barren life Saline soultions yield no resolutions
Sleepwalk through this pain induced coma of wakefulness My lungs draw air but in this body there is no life
Songs From The North, and Hope, by Swallow the Sun
Excerpt from Empire of Loneliness:
Then from the dark a small glimmering light did appear, with the trembling wings of a butterfly it shone a light into my night.
A halo of a childish hope reaching from somewhere long since gone...
I held my breath and it landed on my arm and asked:
"Is there still anything worth reaching for?" And my heart said no. "Any light or goodness in you worth holding on to?" And my heart said no.
I closed my eyes, got on my weak knees, and breathed in the dark glow. As her wings turned to ashes, from ashes to a black moth.
I heard the sirens and screaming of the iron. And my heart still said no.
Arcane Rain Fell, by Draconian
Excerpt from Death, Come Near Me:
Oh, shed a tear for the loss, of innocence, for the forsaken spirits who aches... in us. Cry for the heart who surrenders to pain, for the solitude of those, left, behind!
Behold the pain and sorrow of the world, dream of a place away from this nightmare. Give us love and unity, under the heart of night. O Death, come near us, and give us life!
Damp Chill of Life, by None
Excerpt from You Did a Good Thing
I didn't want to, but he wanted me to, he made me do it! He made me do it! So I-I- cut his wrist but he didn't-! I-I-I- so I cut his throat but he kept screaming! I thought I would take off his head and I kept stabbing and he didn't die! He didn't die! And I didn't know what to do! I kept trying and trying to stop his heart but it wouldn't stop! It wouldn't stop and it was so horrible! I didn't know- it was so horrible!
Anything from Shining, but especially The Eerie Cold and Halmstad
Excerpt from Claws of Perdition:
A suicidal haze, unreal like a torturous dream Old stinging mental wounds, still raw and fucking bleeding Drowning in the womb of misery, the mother of depression The slaughter of all hope, the grim death of compassion Sell your soul to evil, sell your soul to death ... suicide, suicide, suicide, suicide, suicide, suicide, suicide... A dead empty stare into the ruins of my world A world I have already left, so many years ago
Hereafter, by Hands of Despair
Excerpt from The Departure
Walking through the clouds I heard your voice echo of a forgotten hope days go by but doubt remains am I able to go on?
Aphotic, by Novembers Doom
Excerpt from What Could Have Been
There's no easy way to see it disappear Always dreaming of what could have been Who will be there to hold you As the morning light breaks We long to be there for you And we can only hope you knew
The Gathering Wilderness, by Primordial
Excerpt from Cities Carved in Stone
Sometimes I get to thinking of the past When I've had more than a drink or two Who knows where the days go And would you ever want them back
