The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68,
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe
You laugh, he says you think you're immune, go look at your eyes
They're full of moon
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you
All those pretty lies, pretty lies
When you gonna realise they're only pretty lies
Just pretty lies, just pretty lies

He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer, and he pushed
Three buttons and the thing began to whirr
And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie
And she said "Drink up now it's gettin' on time to close."
"Richard, you haven't really changed," I said
It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head
You got tombs in your eyes, but the songs
You punched are dreaming
Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet
When you gonna get yourself back on your feet?
Oh and love can be so sweet, so sweet

Richard got married to a figure skater
And he bought her a dishwasher and a Coffee percolator
And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on
And all the house lights left up bright
I'm gonna blow this damn candle out
I don't want nobody comin' over to my table
I got nothing to talk to anybody about
All good dreamers pass this way some day
Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes
Dark cafes
Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings
And I fly away
Only a phase, these dark cafe days

A few lines from the song Battle Axe by Sacramento Nu-Metal band Deftones.

I want to sleep if you are awake
Still making believe that you aren't at all crazy
And if you don't believe I think you should
You'd make me so proud
Still you love to think you have always
Been this way
But you're all
Wrong

The chorus from Just by Radiohead:

You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is you do it to yourself, just you
You and no-one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself

It's amazing how a dark song can make us feel better.

These lyrics from Runaway Train by Soul Asylum

....Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded…

When you are begging for some humanity:

Stonemilker – Bjork

Show me emotional respect, oh respect, oh respect
And I have emotional needs, oh needs, oh ooh
I wish to synchronize our feelings, our feelings, oh ooh

Who is open?
And who has shut up
And if one feels closed
How does one stay open?

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire

A vial of hope and a vial of pain
In the light they both looked the same
Poured them out on into the world
On every boy and every girl
It's in the neon Bible, the neon Bible
Not much chance for survival
If the neon Bible is right
Take the poison of your age
Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page
What I know is what you know is right
In the city it's the only light
It's the neon Bible, the neon Bible
Not much chance for survival
If the neon Bible is right
Oh God, well look at you now!
Oh, you lost it, but you don't know how!
In the light of a golden calf
Oh God! I had to laugh!
Take the poison of your age
Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page
It was wrong, but you said it was right
In the future I will read at night
In the neon Bible, the neon Bible
Not much chance for survival
If the neon Bible is true

tell me dreams really come true.

Whistling whistling here in the dark with you."

Really breaks my heart. "So walk me back home, my darling... tell me dreams really come true... Whistling, whistling, here in the dark with you..."

Not sure this resonates to make things better, but at least it reflects what happens during the worst of it:

Metallica, "One" (excerpt)

All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell
Landmine Has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell
Thanks for this!

From the song Hexagram by Deftones, 2003. These lyrics always mean something to me.

How the streets they swell
While the animals make their way through the crowds
If you keep listening, can hear it for miles
God, I trust everyone quicker with every faint smile....
Thanks for this!
