I'll start! for me, it's "Does anyone know/where the love of God goes/When the waves turn the minutes to hours" from The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, by Gordon Lightfoot.

"In a clearing where the sunrays dance amongst the forest's dense secrets, you will softly rest, your pale beauty enshrined by the sweet glade, your body at peace. Even the earth will fill the crack where entered my blade."

from "Drip Drip" (1971), by Comus

It was always going to be a Seeming lyric and I could have picked a bunch that would have needed content warnings but I think this one comes out on top, from 'Talk About Bones':

Run run run on through the rain, don’t listen to the warnings
And all the skulkers saying someday you’ll come home
’Cause all they’ll find is your graffiti poems of cremation
That say, “You and me—let’s have a talk about bones”

yessss Seeming absolutely has a ton of strong contenders

right now though, the lyric at the top of my mind is from "Fortune" by the peggies:

傷口(kizuguchi)から(kara)溢れ出す(afuredasu)(uso)(to)
本音(honne)(ga)(kokoro)(o)蝕む(mushibamu)

"the lies and the truths that flood out of my wounds eat away at my heart"

Kids by PUP (Morbid Stuff)
Just like the kids, I've been navigating my way
Through the mind-numbing reality of a godless existence
Which, at this point in my hollow and vapid life
Has erased what little ambition I've got left

Chinese Satellite by Phoebe Bridgers (Punisher)
Swore I could feel you through the walls
But that's impossible

No Future Part 3 by Titus Andronicus (The Monitor)
There is a faceplate all brown and red that stretches across my mouth
It's worn for protection, nobody gets in and nobody gets out

Walking In The Snow by Run The Jewels (RTJ4)
Funny fact about a cage, they're never built for just one group
So when that cage is done with them and you still poor, it come for you
The newest lowest on the totem, well golly gee, you have been used
You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too

Two Headed Boy by Neutral Milk Hotel (In the Aeroplane Over the Sea)
And in the dark we will take off our clothes
And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
And when all is breaking
Everything that you could keep inside
Now your eyes ain't moving, now
They just lay there in their climb

Walking In The Snow is full of real ones, but the one that gets me every time is:

Never forget in the story of Jesus, the hero was killed by the state
