This is the one I thought of straight away too. Then instead of posting it I just started listening to the song over and over again ……. simply stunning track.Or:
Can you please stop time?
Can you stop the pain?
I feel too cold
And now I feel too warm again
Can you stop this pain?
Can you stop this pain?
Even now in the final hour
Of my life
I'm falling in love again
Again
Again
That's the one I was going to postAnd when I'm lying in my bed
I think about life
And I think about death
And neither one particularly appeals to me

There’s nowhere he can turn, not to himself and not to the outside world.
I’d also like to nominate the following:
“I tried living in the real world instead of a shell, but I was bored before I even began.”
