( I don't want to breathe, I don't want to move, I don't want to leave here

See what I am, See what I know, See what I see

I chew the tongue

Who whispered the fortune

There's nothing left but a twisted devotion ...

Liquid diamonds roll down my skin

And the wind whispers around me

Dark place...

A sweetness that I've never known

Hits me like a storm in the ocean

Dark face...

Dark love...

I'll take you

Like a stormy ocean

It's not enough

I need more...

Oh wicked thoughts

From where did you come?

Dark things breathe their heated sighs

I kiss the cheek

And eat the mouth

And taste the tongue that never lies

Johnny Hollow, “Dark Thing” )

( “Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom

Even though I may be alone, but that's ok

And looking out to a different sky will disengage me

Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade

I do not seek and do not intend to find

A calmer ocean or a sun that will never rise

My world will never change and time will bring you to my thoughts

And I'll move on and then forget you all over again

Moving on, I can forgive you all over again”

Delerium, “A poem for Byzantium” )

( “Wild in the woods of love

We harm those whom we adore

And contrary to all good intentions

We suffocate them in an alarming embrace.

Listen child, try to understand,

All is not what it appears to be in the world at hand.

Here dreams are bought and sold for a price.

The truth a burden to keep for the rest of your life...”

Dead Can Dance, “Wild in the Woods” )

( Melora’s eyes narrowed as she pulled back the curtains that Saturday morning. The entire week had been intolerable; as word spread about the barbecue, Melora realized just how many people would be showing up. )

( Ever felt away with me

Just once that all I need

Entwined in finding you one day

Ever felt away without me

My love, it lies so deep

Ever dream of me

Would you do it with me

Heal the scars and change the stars

Would you do it for me

Turn loose the heaven within

I'd take you away

Castaway on a lonely day

Bosom for a teary cheek

My song can but borrow your grace

Nightwish, “Ever Dream” )

( “It doesn't hurt me.

Do you want to feel how it feels?

Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?

Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?

You, it's you and me.

You don't want to hurt me,

But see how deep the bullet lies.

Unaware I'm tearing you asunder.

Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts.

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?

Tell me, we both matter, don't we?

You, it's you and me.

It's you and me won't be unhappy.

And if I only could,

I'd make a deal with God,

And I'd get him to swap our places,

Be running up that road,

Be running up that hill,

Be running up that building,

Say, if I only could, oh...”

Kate Bush, “Running Up that Hill” (See also Faith and the Muse’s version) )

( “I never was a punk

I never shot junk

I never even tried it,

Counter culture passed me right by

I'm on the outside, I'm on the outside now

This is where it all begins on the outside looking in

Looking in

At you

I'm just an alien through and through

Tryin' to make believe I'm you

Tryin' to fit

Just a stranger on the outside looking in

The disco makes me sick

I wear the wrong clothes

I say the wrong things

You know I can't dance

My feet are much too wide (I'm on the outside)

You think you set the trends

You wear your hair just right

Your clothes are out-a-sight

Your house is modern really kitch

You get so macho when you're with your bitch

(I'm on the outside)”

-Oingo Boingo, “On the Outside”. )

( ““For those who have accepted the burden of shame,

For the innocent only guilt will remain

And our lives will be forced to accommodate

The perpetrators of our own bastard race.

All my senses rebel

Under the scrutiny of their persistent gaze.

It took a lifetime to get here,

A journey I'll never make again.

I stand accused of a thousand and one crimes,

A witness to events that led to this present time.

These traditions which bind our hands and keep us tied

Will never survive the greatest test of time.

Deliver me from those feverish eyes

That threaten to unbalance my state of mind,

For I must confess only to the smallest of crimes.

A sense of guilt, a sense of guilt

A sense of guilt, a sense of guilt”

---Dead Can Dance, “The Trial.” )

( “Come to life my deviltry Possess this poor company

Our secret be benefit Their unhappy lack of it

Awaken my trusting friend My undisturbed reflection

So fluid your beauty All gears and teeth

Come Alive

Come to life my second skin To protect the madness locked within

Yet I know a place where we can touch in tongues

Though words did betray us Did bury our past Cry blasphemy

Take my dear ones The use of this spell may serve too well

Our mouth is our chalice Our tongue our sword

And truth holds a dozen doors One thrown open wide shall yield one more

Yet mystery remains above their eyes

Come Alive”

Faith and the Muse, “The Silver Circle”. )
