No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

Janis Ian does loads of songs that could fit this thread. Her first album is especially full. Here's a dark yet beautiful one:

Okay, it's tearjerker time again. This one's about a soldier who's about to ship home. It's classic Tom Waits with some amazing twists of phrase. Here's one verse:

You can't deny, the other side
Don't want to die anymore than we do
What I'm trying to say is don't they pray
To the same God that we do?
And tell me how does God choose?
Whose prayers does he refuse?
Who turns the wheel?
Who throws the dice?
On the day after tomorrow

Grateful Dead, Box of Rain.

Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear…

 

[MdStang]

Beautiful and haunting...

 

[Ouremblem]

How about Matchbox Twenty’s “Unwell”?

 

[Ozimoto]
