From my "GAH DEPRESSING" playlist on iTunes:
Alexisonfire - "Happiness By The Kilowatt"
"So where has all the day gone?
And why are my lungs aching when I breathe?
Is there something wrong with the heat?
Why am I so cold?
And my heart feels sick
And it hurts when I speak"
Azure Ray - "Trees Keep Growing"
"It's funny how you can forget
There's a world outside yourself
Where the one who loves you keeps on living
Without you there"
Ben Folds - "Fred Jones, Part 2"
"Fred gets his paints out and goes to the basement
Projecting some slides onto a plain white
Canvas and traces it
Fills in the spaces
He turns off the slides, and it doesn't look right
Yeah, and all of these bastards
Have taken his place
He's forgotten but not yet gone"
Jets To Brazil - "Rocket Boy"
"Going in a circle, never getting to the point
Burning up the atmosphere, my rocket shop boy
You say there's a finish line, but you're already beat
'Cause you're living on your knees"
Lucero - "Fistful Of Tears"
"The water's deep dark and blue
There ain't nothing left to do
So darling be strong, I'll cross before long
And I'll wait on the far shores for you"
Nickel Creek - "The Lighthouse's Tale"
"And the waves crashing around me
The sand slips out to sea
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been, and what can never be"
Thursday - "War All The Time"
"War all of the time
In the shadow of the New York skyline
We grew up too fast, falling apart
Like the ashes of American flags
The pieces fall, it's like a last day parade
And the fires in our streets start to rage
So wave to the people who long to wave back"
