Not sure if this is cheating but...

Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry, there is nothing but darkness and agony. I can not only see but you stopped me from blinking.

Would be curious if anyone knows this song.

In fear every day, every evening

He calls her aloud from above

Carefully watched for a reason

Painstaking devotion and love

Surrender to self-preservation

From others who care for themselves

A blindness that touches perfection

But hurts just like anything else

Isolation, isolation, isolation

Mother, I tried, please believe me

I'm doing the best that I can

I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through

I'm ashamed of the person I am

Isolation, isolation, isolation

But if you could just see the beauty

These things I could never describe

These pleasure's a wayward distraction

This is my one lucky prize

button moon

I don't feel too steady on my feet

I feel hollow, I feel weak

Passion fruit and holy bread

Fill my guts and ease my head

Through the early morning sun

I can see her, here she comes

She bangs the drums

Have you seen her? Have you heard?

The way she plays, there are no words

To describe the way I feel

How could it ever come to pass?

She'll be the first, she'll be the last

To describe the way I feel

Holds deep meaning for me personally

Every backbone and heart you break

Submission ends it all

Or

Like a nightclub in the morning, you're the bitter end

Like a recently disinfected shithouse, you're clean round the bend

You give me the horrors

Too bad to be true

All of my tomorrows

Are lousy 'cause of you

You put the Shat in Shatter

Put the Pain in Spain

Your germs are splattered about

Your face is just a stain

Yes, I realised that. I was perhaps being flippant and wondering why make the range of possible responses so narrow by placing so many specifics into the question… kind of like: who is the best French artist who painted in oils in the 19th century and used a pallet of yellow ochre, raw sienna and Prussian blue and had a brother who lived in Paris? I mean … erm

But that was me probably being rude and I must apologise…

Though I am going to have to think long and hard on this because I don’t know where most singers come from!
