Je ne suis qu'une forme aux contours incertains
Avec un regard morne un tantinet hautain
J'avance à l'aveuglette et je suis mal lunée
Une pièce sans fenêtre avec vue sur mes pieds
À force de malentendus je suis malentendant
Et ces déjà-vus me rendent malveillant
Je ne fume plus mais je pars en cendres
Combien de temps me faudra-t-il encore t'attendre?

Émilie Simon - En Cendres

You said we were born with nothing
And we sure as hell have nothing now
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
Do you understand that we will never be the same again?

Weep for yourself, my man
You'll never be what is in your heart
Weep, little lion man
You're not as brave as you were at the start
Rate yourself and rake yourself
Take all the courage you have left
And waste it on fixing
All the problems that you made in your own head

Mumford and Sons - Little Lion Man

Four o'clock in the morning and still we cannot sleep
Turning over turning round, twisting in our sweat
They say there is no rest for the wicked ones
Dear God what have we done?
There is no rest for the wicked ones
Dear God what is this evil that we've done?

New Model Army - No Rest

~*~

There are things I regret
You can't forgive, you can't forget
There's a gift that you sent
You sent it my way
So take this night
Wrap it around me like a sheet
I know I'm not forgiven
But I need a place to sleep
So take this night
And lay me down on the street
I know I'm not forgiven
But I hope that I'll be given
Some peace

Black Lab - This Night

~*~

The ghosts of comrades dead and gone
Rise in my path to do me wrong
As wars are fought, armies abide
Should I be tried for the men who died?
Hush
Back through the fields and hush
All the ghosts of the dead are awake
And I'm afraid

Abney Park - Hush

~*~

Are these not words of heresy
A venom on my lips, a poison?
My spirit impurified
in everything I choose to say
If I would shed my skin
The layers left, but not the lessons learned
Would not undo what I have done
Or grant forgiveness in some better days
With you I stand in hope
That god will save us from ourselves
Every cry a wasted moment
Until another day is lost
Even lands we once called home
Lie undiscovered and unknown
Only heaven's silence for an answer
And did our laughter did our tears
Have some purpose after all?
Did we toil in vain in hopes
That wisdom came from what we'd done?
Even lands we once called home
Lie undiscovered and unknown
Only heaven's silence for an answer

VNV Nation - Joy

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man
It surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say
Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you

Kansas - Carry On My Wayward Son

You wear guilt
Like shackles on your feet
Like a halo in reverse
I can feel
The discomfort in your seat
And in your head it's worse
And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it
