3. Though when the day is nearly through I might see the same way too (Sisters of Mercy - "Walk Away")
4. I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises, I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about, but I let the dream go, the promises broke, the Make-believe ran out.... (The Cure - "Letter to Elise")
5. So now i hunger, seems I'm in the mood for brains but blood and guts will do for a day or two as I make my way to you. (Bella Morte - "The Coffin Don't Want Me and She Don't Either")
6. not until they are dead stop breathing fleas attach themselves biting bits of flesh consuming words once hated (Skinny Puppy - "Grave Wisdom")

9. Get ahead, get a life, get a face, get anything just stay the fuck away from me (Dismantled - "The Swarm")
10. It doesn't speak a plan or any secret thing, no unseen sign or untold truth in anything (The Cure - "Where the Birds Always Sing")
11. And I blame the sun, and I blame the moon, I blame myself, and I blame you. (Seven Nations - "Twelve") [Odd, I only have two songs of theirs in my entire collection and both of them came up...]
12. My heart is like the ocean: It gets in the way (Tori Amos - "Take to the Sky")
13. Zankoku na tenshi no you ni Shonen yo, shinwa ni nare... (Evangelion - "Cruel Angel's Thesis")madmanatwork

15. Kill all the white people, and then we'll be free (Type O-negative - "Kill all the white people")maria_isolde

17. And I remember she used to fall down a lot, that girl was always falling again and again, and I used to sometimes try to catch her, but never even caught her name (The Cure - "Catch")
18. God wrote all my dopest rhymes, especially those ones about shootin' niggaz and gettin' fucking high. (Mindless Self Indulgence - "Thank God")
19. Hundred beats per minute baby, don't mean shit to me (Mindless Self Indulgence - "Futures")
20. Follow me, my love, into the coldest worlds, and be as we once were, if only 'til the day. (Bella Morte - "Mist and Stone")
21. Regardless of this introspection, I see myself in your reflection, I guess it makes it easier, to turn your eyes away (The Cruxshadows - "Untrue")
22. Suppose I accidentally got my shit together..... (MC 900 Foot Jesus - "If I only had a Brain")
23. It don't help to be one of the chosen, one of the few to be sure, when the wheels are spinning round and the ground is frozen through (Sisters of Mercy - "Driven Like the Snow")
24. These are not words, they're only feelings (VNV Nation - "Tempest")
25. Time crashes from the sky again to wash away the rain, I stare into the setting sun until it falls away; what is left is everything, or everything to me, As I watch the evening fade. (Bella Morte - "Eyes of a Ghost")
