When the dark comes

Paranoia and the Art of Complete Emotional Breakdown : Soothing Sounds for the Dead Of Night

So you've been stuck in some stinking room for hours and hours; and the sun went down so long ago you don't even know whether it will ever come up again. And you've smoked all the cigarettes you can, and the lightbulbs have all blown and covered your thin blue blanket in glass and pieces of hot filament, and you pull those covers up tight, tight around your head and you're looking for a space to put your mouth and breathe, but you keep forgetting that you are already dead.

You are looking for help, but we cannot help you.

1. Climbing Up The Walls - Radiohead (from OK Computer)

It's always best when the light is off It's always better on the outside Fifteen blows to the back of your head Fifteen blows to your mind So lock the kids up safe tonight Put the eyes in the cupboard I've got the smell of a local man Who's got the loneliest feeling That either way you turn, I'll be there Open up your skull and I'll be there Climbing up the walls Climbing up the walls Climbing up the walls

You tease me Telling me It's over Wait and see Leave it You're lying When you tell me You're not happy Come to me For sympathy Every night I know where you sleep And it's hurting me It's hurting me I want it all For myself I want it all I want it for myself Tide keeps rolling in I stand watching As you keep on giving it to her Keep on Keep it on Time isn't cold enough Isn't after us It's hurting me

Drivin' faster in my car falling farther from just what we are smoke a cigarette and lie some more these conversations kill falling faster in my car Time to take her home her dizzy head is conscience laden time to take a ride it leaves today no conversation time to take her home her dizzy head is conscience laden time to wait too long to wait too long these conversations kill To much walkin' shoes worn thin too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin time to catch a ride it leaves today, her name is what it means to much walkin', shoe's worn thin

I don't mind this Deaf again Just a skinfull What we choose to forget Thinking you know Thinking you see all sides Crossing a stone from your hand Yeah right Hell is where the heart is Synapse again There's nothing more i can do I haven't done it again I never wanted nothing wrong Taking a cue from seven days I'll bet you never listened Burning holes in all your clothes Razorblade suitcase All the tricks of the trade Favorite ways you can lose Favorite ways you can hate Hell is where the heart is Synapse again There's nothing more i can do I haven't done it again I haven't done it again

All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere And their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tommorow, no tommorow And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'Cos I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very Mad World Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday Made to feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson Look right through me, look right through me
