It's oddly comforting to stumble across a song that expresses so perfectly what you are feeling at the moment. Comforting in a way that kind of isn't, that makes you go, "hey, someone else has gone through the same thing. huh. well, it must have sucked for them too. they even wrote a song about it."

"you know me
I know I can see through dirt
and I can see
the hole you've dug and where you're lodged

the king ran into the tunnel
and nobody knew what to do
they say he's always lived there
and up above a mountain grew

and the mountain had flowers
and children on its arms
the mountain had rainstorms
and aluminum electric charge
our holes are dug
when we're so young and there we can remain
and I know how
the open air can look like certain pain

the king lived on in his tunnel
outside a train was passing by
it made a light at the end of the tunnel
the light bore deep into his eye

the train it burned there waiting
to take him out and for a ride
to the places that he'd never been to
the world that grows out in the light

and the train it ran on coal and steam
and solid iron wheels
the train it moved with the red hot engine-
fires of how it feels

there's a train coming
and the train it wants to be with you
the train it wants to be with you

pull on out of yourself
and tell the train you want it too
tell the train you want it to stay

could let it pass you by
but you know you'd regret it the rest of your life

you could let it pass you by
but you know you'd regret it the rest of your life
you know you'd regret it the rest of your life
if you're really not
coming out
could you find the courage to just
give a shout

and admit that you are in there
to the train
and she'll know it hasn't all
been in vain

and maybe she'll come back again

cause the mountain has flowers

and children on its arms
the mountain it has rainstorms
and aluminum electric charge"
