Favorite all-time lyric, from any band, including Live Options

[sandkind]

my all-time favorite:

"I am smelling like a rose that somebody gave me on my birthday death bed..."

-STP - from Dead & Bloated

Don't ask me why, it's just fucked up enough that I like it

[Alex]

"We will always be much more human than we wish to be"
-Beyond the Pale Pain of Salvation

"One little piece of understanding.. glowing through this void of blankness and clean slates
Like a beacon of hope.. or just a reminder that I was always wrong"
-Nauticus Pain of Salvation

"Fear is a funny thing, god... in that it gives you the strength to resist just about anything
And friend turns to enemy, so easily
When you defend your legacy with guilt
And talk of blasphemy"
-Nauticus Pain of Salvation

"The irony of seeing me whispering through her skin
So joyfully to our child there deep within
Or of when she called to me to tell me cheerfully
That she had seen our shape on a hospital screen
And of nurses being concerned that you never moved or turned
Too late we see the warning, too late we learn

It'll never be the same but I will love you just the same
I was prepared to be your father
How can I ever prepare for that again?"
-Without a Trace Pain of Salvation

Spiralling to the ground below
Like Autumn leaves left in the wake to fade
away
-The Drapery Falls Opeth

It's only a number
It's only a death
Another soldier died in action
The telegram regrets
-Synesthesia Porcupine Tree

All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
We all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
-Pyramid Song Radiohead
