Hmm. There's two off the top of my head. No one will have heard them, and they ain't on youtube, cos a lot of shit I like isn't. Hmm.
TAKING MYSELF AWAY - Eddie Perfect
Every day that I'm alive
And living on this rocky earth
Every day I live and breathe
I only make things worse
Thought the truth was mine if I
Just took things with a grain of salt
But everything wrong in this world's
A little bit my fault
Have mercy on the man who understands
However much he scrubs and scrubs
There's still blood on his hands
The strongest army's pwoerless
To stop the evil inside me
Scared one day I'll just break down
And buy Starbucks coffee
I hope to God that awful day
Is one I'll never see
So
I'm
Taking myself away
Where I can't do anymore harm
Breathe my last breath
And embracing my death
I feel nothing but calm
Beautiful calm
Taking myself to a place
Where I'll do no damage at last
Perhaps I could drain
All the blood from my veins
In a beautiful porcelain bath
Just how many childhoods lost
To make these clothes upon my back?
I paid for all the bombs that dropped
Each time I paid my tax
How to clear this debt my soul's accrued
As on and on life drags
Digging holes and filling them
With my old plastic bags
I thought I'd see the walls come tumbling down
However much I scream and yell
It seems they love the sound
And which of these realities
Is easier for my soul to bear?
The fact that I cause suffering?
Or the fact that I dont care?
I hope when morning comes to wake me up
That I'm not there
I'm taking myself away
I could just do with a rest
Say farewell to the sun
And my beautiful mum
Tell her I tried my best
I did my best
Taking myself to a place
Where cab drivers don't want to go
There is no atonement
I can't waste a moment
When knowing the things
That I know
Don't say you'll miss me.
SKIN - Eddie Perfect
Lord, look at these things
If I only had wings
Am I destined to always be trapped in this skin?
I obeyed gravity
I'm my own enemy
Could I rise up, floating on God's own breath
Taste that weightlessness before my death
Free my mind
Leave the dishes behind.
I'd rather burn on the sun
Have my wings come undone
Than be stuck with the person I'm scared I've become
Did it wrong this time round
Never got off the ground
There's nothing ahead
Nothing behind
Only sky
And I can't fly...
Both so fucking depressing. But transfixingly beautiful.
What's the most DEPRESSING song you've ever heard?
