jackofallgeeksLeft Behind by VNV Nation
So afraid to open your eyes, You know too well that which awaits you. Something undefined there in the halflight; the demon without, the demon inside to plague and torment you. Feeling so sure, feeling so uncertain that something is wrong. Everyone's gone and you have been left behind. Everyone left the demon inside.
Do you still hear their laughter, so hard to describe? You never forget the faces that haunt you, awake or asleep, I know you can't tell. Unable to sleep, unable to fight, unwilling to wake to open your eyes, to face your oppressor. Still you go on convinced it will end.
Can you remember a day when it was not, not like this? Unsure of yourself, unsure of your thoughts. Unable to know if what you think is right or wrong. Still you go on convinced it will end. Like someone pushes a blade through your mind, there on the edge where no-one will find you. Still hearing them laugh. Is there no light at the end for you.
Why is everything wrong?
Here I am. Here I am with these words. Trying to say something I can't, something I can't tell you.
Nothing is wrong, the demons they have left you. You were not left behind. You were not left behind. So open your eyes. So open your eyes.
Unable to sleep, unable to fight, unwilling to wake. Please open your eyes, for here I stand, unable to tell you what I am trying to say.
Nothing is wrong. Please open your eyes. Nothing is wrong. You were not left behind.
Pray Nightfall by Paradise Lost
...in my head, this all is in my head, this all is in my head, this all is in my head, this all is in my head...
I hold on tight for this mortal ride, rest my head 'til the morning's coming down on me. I realise my own sacrifice, better rest my head before somebody's going out...
...in my head, this all is in my head, this all is in my head, this all is in my head, this all is in my head...
Pray nightfall release me, then I could wander, wander to deep sleep.
Awake despite another mortal night, rest my head for the sun is shining down on me. I realise, try to synchronize, rest my head or somebody's going down.
...in my head, this all is in my head, this all is in my head, this all is in my head, this all is in my head...
Pray nightfall release me, then I could wander, wander to deep sleep.
Trying to make things work, trying to make things right. Trying to make things work, without serendipity in my life...
...in my head...
Pray nightfall release me, then I could wander, wander to deep sleep.
Pray nightfall release me, then I could wander, wander to deep sleep.
My Lover's Gone by Dido
My lover's gone, his boots no longer by my door. He left at dawn and as I slept I felt him go. Returns no more, I will not watch the ocean. My lover's gone, no earthly ships will ever bring him home again. Bring him home again.
My lover's gone, I know that kiss will be my last. No more his song, the tune upon his lips has passed. I sing alone while I watch the ocean. My lover's gone, no earthly ships will ever bring him home again. Bring him home again.
My lover's gone, his boots no longer by my door. He left at dawn and as I slept I felt him go. Returns no more, I will not watch the ocean. My lover's gone, no earthly ships will ever bring him home again. Bring him home again.
