[All Around Me] are the [Dead]
So [Blue], their [Skin]
I have [One Thousand Apologies]
But not enough, for all of you
So, my [Passive] little self
Just had to [Lie]
I had [Drilled A Wire Through My Cheek]
Because I just [Can't Take It]
So, everyone, please
I ask of you,
[Hate Me] for making you [Lose Yourself]
I only wanted you to [Join Me In Death]
Yes, Right now, I'm [Fully Alive]
And [Someday] I'll [Leave Out All The Rest]
But [Only God Knows Why] it's [Never Too Late]
I should [Sober] up
Find [Somewhere I Belong]
And go [Into the Night]
And I guess I will
[Ready, Set, Go!]
And sadly, but necessary
I am dead.
I'm there.
In Hell.
Such [A Beautiful Lie]...

The structure and the tone reminded me of "The Beautiful Letdown," the part about the church of fools. Very calm, but shatteringly powerful. The line, "And I guess I will," for some reason, was what I identified with. It made the poem personal for me.
Like a deep breath. Beautiful

Nicely done. I like how you've gotten all those titles in this (around 22 I think) and still have it read well, make sense and hold the interest. I also like the underlying darkness - gives it a unique take.
For me, I like how you have set your song titles in brackets - made it easier to pick them out. For others, they might find that annoying...lol..
Thank you 'Darkwave Das Ich' for this entry. I enjoyed it.
best wishes
