The Most emo/depressing lyrics

looooooooovveeee, looooooooooveeeee will tear us aaaaaa-ppppaaarrrrrttttt again.
To be honest, I never really found songs promoting nihilism or the ideologies behind it all that depressing. I have to agree that Joy Divisions work along with alot of the Cure to be some of the saddest stuff around. Particularly because both their singers look like the saddest-bastards ive ever seen.
Ballard:
Every Elliott Smith song ever.
Near Lurker:
Depressing in a good way or depressing in a bad way?
Hmm...either way, the best thing I can think of is "The Torch," which probably means I need to listen to more depressing music.
"Wash away all the lines on your face that show how you've aged.
It's a long way down; your back's been broken and you can't make the rounds.
The tables are turned as the litany goes.
You're a rotten old man who'll be covered in dirt.
On your knees, and pray to the maker that caused you to bleed.
Turn back the hands on the clock.
You're a bitter old man who's done nothing but work
Your hands to the bone on assembly lines;
You've grown cold to the touch of the ones that you love.
Ignorance is something you can't overcome,
But you've passed it on down and that's something much worse,
For a bitter young man is now taking the torch."
squawk:
Not every single one, Eugene!
"Cat Heaven".
"(Hospital Vespers)".

That is absolutely the worst piece of lyricism I have ever heard.
Fuck Conor Oberst.

He is no where near as good as Kasher.
