1	* ''Demons Dance Alone'' was chock full of this. Standouts include the "Loss" section and "Make Me Moo."
2	* ''Animal Lover.'' From "What Have My Chickens Done Now?" and "Two Lips" (in which a mad rush to buy tulips leaves everyone with tulips and nothing else [[note]]Loosely based on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania true events]] at that[[/note]]) to pieces like "Dead Men," My Window," and "Inner Space," in which a woman recounts her visits to a bitter, detached father spending his last days in a hospital, this is considered one of the band's more depressing pieces, from a time when they were at their most pessimistic.
3	* The group's rendition of "{{Bury Me Not\|OnTheLonePrairie}}," from the Cube-E show.
4	* The last two tracks from ''Freak Show.'' "Lillie" is about a young member of the audience who's so screwed-up mentally that she gives the performers the creeps, while "Nobody Laughs When They Leave" is comparatively, quite a DarkReprise of "Everyone Comes To The Freak Show."
5	-->Everyone comes to the freak show\
6	to laugh at the freaks and the geeks\
7	[[spoiler:Life is a lot like the freak show\
8	'Cause]] nobody laughs when they leave.
9	* The backstory of the mysterious man from "Hello Skinny" (read NightmareFuel section for details).
10	* "The Great Circus Train Wreck of 1918," told from the perspective of survivor Lon Moore, a clown who had to be pulled out of the wreck. He details the circus' best attempts at carrying on despite the grave loss and ensuing despair, as well as the funeral that followed after.
11	-->The Entrance of the Gladiators echoed in the space\
12	While I perplexed and wondered some about God's golden grace
