The themes for Week 322 are as follows, you may submit two different CLAMP icons provided they each fit at least one of the challenges below. A list of series and galleries are available
here for your convenience.
General: Closed Eyes
The character(s) in your icon must have both eyes fully closed; they don't have to be asleep, but their eyes must still be shut. You can either find imagery where this is already the case or somehow graphically manipulate the face to achieve this effect instead.
Texture: Erniemay
(
http://erniemay.livejournal.com)
You must use the texture shown below. You may colour, cut, crop or combine it however you wish, as well as include outside imagery and other materials, so long as it is still clear that you incoporated at least part of the provided resource.

Lyrics: Misery
You must use at least three consecutive words from the following song. It is not necessary to maintain punctuation/letter casing and you may substitue alternate characters for words where appropriate (e.g. and with &) and vice versa. You are not allowed to incorporate any external text with the exception of tinytext/brushes that are purely decorative and not legible.
Misery
Maroon 5
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
So scared of breaking it
That you won't let it bend
And I wrote two hundred letters
I will never send
Sometimes these cuts are so much
Deeper then they seem
You'd rather cover up
I'd rather let them bleed
So let me be
And I'll set you free
Oh yeah
[CHORUS]
I am in misery
There ain't nobody
Who can comfort me
Oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me
Oh yeah
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back
Your salty skin and how
It mixes in with mine
The way it feels to be
Completely intertwined
It's not that I didn't care
It's that I didn't know
It's not what I didn't feel,
It's what I didn't show
So let me be
And I'll set you free
[CHORUS]
You say your faith is shaken
And you may be mistaken
You keep me wide awake and
Waiting for the sun
I'm desperate and confused
So far away from you
And I'm getting there
I don't care where I have to run
Why do you do what you do to me, yeah
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah
Why do you do what you do to me yeah
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah
[CHORUS]
