Nina Simone-Ain't Got No, I Got Life
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZVQmJVXDkk

I ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes
Ain't got no money, Ain't got no class
Ain't got no skirts, Ain't got no sweater
Ain't got no perfume Ain't got no bed
Ain't got no mind,

Ain't got no mother Ain't got no culture
Ain't got no friends, aint got no schoolin'
Ain't got no love, Ain't got no name
Ain't got no ticket, Ain't got no token
Ain't got no god

and what have i got?
why am i alive anyway?
yeah what have i got?
nobody can take away?...

Got my hair. Got my head
Got my brains, Got my ears
Got my eyes, Got my nose
Got my mouth, I got my smile

I got my tongue, Got my chin
Got my neck, Got my boobies
Got my heart, Got my soul
Got my back, I got my sex

I got my arms, got my hands, got my fingers,
got my legs, got my feet, got my toes,
got my liver, got my blood..

I've got life,
i've got my freedom
i've got life
I've got life
and I am gonna keep it
I've got life
and nobody's gonna take it away
I've got life!

A lot of the songs by "Finger Eleven" have a definite schizoid-ish feel to them. I had a hard time choosing, so these are all the ones that instantly stood out to me:

"Awake And Dreaming"

I can't lose anything
So what's left is mine
And I win this time

Consolation day
I'll make up a way
I'll know now just what to say

I'll get away from you
Wait and I'll be begging
I'll pull you down

I saw it all again
Fading memory became clear to me
I try but I can't say
That I'm yours for good
Support me you said you would

...

Awake and dreaming
I'm only sleeping


"Ordinary Life"

So what if I don't know the next place where my mind supposed to go
No direction, no drive, on paper I am barely alive
No answer cause
No call
There's nothing going on at all
I know when I sing this song
The words might not be too strong

The world might not sing along
But who knows maybe they might
If I get the melody just right
If I get it right

...

Who knows what I might find in the back woods of my mind
Not answering your call, just lost in thought that's all
I know when I sing a song, the words might not be too strong

...

"Any Moment Now"

Just one more lapse in judgement and I'll be set
Just give me one more minute in
I'll be ready then

Any moment now
I'm gonna know
How to play my part
Any moment now
I'm gonna feel
Like a work of art

I wanna feel my confidence kick in
I wanna feel bulletproof again
Thought I wonder if I ever really felt like that
I can almost guarantee that I haven't
No not yet

Just one more explanation how I'm gonna get through this
Just tell me one more time and I wont ask again

"Shudder"

So sad to everyone
Did not occur to you
Wake up an empty shell
Someone to crawl into

Dead days refuse to dream
The blanket still asleep
Concealing every flaw
Till you uncover me

Could it be that I'm fading far away
straight out?

No truth I can confirm
No truth that I can sense
Passing time I can't recall
The truth it surfaces

Open eyes, Open heart
Open up, and fall apart

Could it be that I'm fading far away
straight out of it?

"Costume For A Gutterball"

The mask keeps on slipping and tearing
The holes are big enough to see
I strain and I'm bending to hear you
What did you tell me

So slow
You see me disappear
Taken in taken away
Caught in another memory
Looking for something left to see
Now I want something

...

No one will know that I'm looking
They can't get to me

Beutifully melodic

I do quite like the 1st ending song of Attack on Titan / Shingeki no Kyojin; Beautiful cruel world / Utsukushiki Zankoku na Sekai

Lyrics:
That dream is where my heart belongs,
and it's something more fragile than my life.
Again and again, I abandoned and then rediscovered it.
Now sleep peacefully.
With my wish being ravished by my pounding heartbeats,
as soon as I'm on the verge of forgetting it, I immediately recall it.

In this beautiful cruel world,
we merely keep on asking "why" we're alive and living...
Ah, with this strength and this weakness,
if we no longer possess any rationality,
just what are we protecting?

Isn't that sky depressing?
The ashes and mirages swirl up in the sky.
Freeze solid to the warm words,
now sleep discreetly.
With my sigh being hid away by my clingy fantasies,
as soon as it's about to break free, it's pinned down again.

In this beautiful cruel world,
we merely keep on begging death to wait a little longer...
Ah, no different from the flightless weathercock,
we will not understand
whether truths are prettier than lies.

If only we were songs,
we would be able to sail at full speed in the wind,
and bring hope without fail
to someone out there.

In this beautiful cruel world,
we merely keep on asking "why" we're alive and living...
Ah, with this strength and this weakness,
if we no longer possess any rationality,
just what are we protecting?

While at it, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei / Goodbye Mr. Despair one of the openings, unfortunately not full version, just the 1:30 OP.
Edit: Found the full version, yay.

Lyrics:

"Warped, warped, warped, warped" *4 (or twisted as in the video)

I was watching the TV late at night
I had nothing to do so I was just watching it absent-mindedly
Flipping through channels, successful people were getting recognition
"That person isn't warped at all... how wonderful"*

"How boring," I thought and turned it off
Better go to sleep, I have work from tomorrow on

Unable to go to sleep, I flipped through some comics
A gravure idol was smiling at me**
"That athlete is just my type.
Those sorts aren't warped at all... how wonderful"

I get it, the reason I'm not rewarded
Is because, as a person, I'm quite warped

So sit up properly! Already,
I'm warping, warping, warping away
Make it so I can't tell why I'm trembling!
Slipping away! I'm already a warped human
But if you are here, I can change?
"Just realize that I am here"

Think of the warping as a surge
Won't this warping change the world as well?
I feel people can't help but notice me
Even if now they can only see me trembling

Alright, I get it, the reason I'm not rewarded
Is because, as a person, I'm quite warped

Ah, I get it, the reason I'm trembling
Is because I don't have anyone to support me

I'm sitting up! Already,
We're warping, warping, warping away
Make it so I can't tell why I'm trembling!
Slipping away! I'm already a warped human
But if I meet you, I can change?
"Just realize that I am here..."

Oh, right, of course: Tubeway Army - We Have a Technical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x6xkOur9e8

Because I very much like to call it a "personality malfunction," as opposed to a personality disorder. And the idea that the brain can malfunction, and that we have a technical, and not a disorder. Come to think about it, all of Replicas could probably be seen as relevant.

"Right Where It Belongs"

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you really are alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

^Yes to this.

Anything by Nine Inch Nails, especially if it's off of The Fragile halo.

Also, Joy Division is (was) genius.
