So many... I'll just pick my recent favourites...
'No matter what they tell you
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach you
What you believe is true'
'Nothing's ever quite as bad as it might appear...'
'Come, come and cry
Cry, cry to Heaven
Say a prayer and light a candle
Toll a bell
Come, come and cry
Cry unto heaven
And if your tears fall on deaf ears then
Go ahead
And cry like Hell
'Say what you will
I'll hang on every word
I'll hang on every letter
But nothing's gonna change the truth
My night is better
Nothing's gonna change the truth
My night is better'
'Memento mori
Grab everything you can
You can lose it all so suddenly
To the frozen face of death'
'A good nightmare
Comes so rarely
While ordinary dreams
Are so easy to find
A good nightmare
Comes so rarely
I'll show you yours
If you'll show me mine'
'There are secrets I never can tell
There are shadows of darkness in heaven
There are so many suburbs of Hell
And their hours are 24/7'
