Nine Inch Nails - The Big Come Down

There is a game I play
Try to make myself okay
Try so hard to make the pieces all fit
Smash it apart
Just for the fuck of it

Bye bye oooh
Got to get back to the bottom
Bye bye oooh
The big come down isn't that what you wanted?
Bye bye oooh
Find a place with the failed and forgotten
Bye bye oooh
Isn't that really what you wanted now?

There is no place I can go there is no way I can hide
It feels like it keeps coming from the inside

There is a hate that burns within
The most desperate place I have ever been
Try to get back to where I'm from
The closer I get the worse it becomes
The closer I get the worse it becomes

There is no place I can go there is no place I can hide
It feels like it keeps coming from the inside

Nine Inch Nails - The Wretched

Just a reflection
Just a glimpse
Just a little reminder
Of all the what abouts
And all the might have
Could have beens
Another day
Some other way
But not another reason to continue
And now you're one of us
The Wretched

The hopes and prays
The better days
The far aways
Forget it

It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?

Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like

The clouds will part
And the sky cracks open
And God Himself
Will reach His fucking arm through
Just to push you down
Just to hold you down
Stuck in this hole
With the shit and the piss
And it's hard to believe
It could come down to this
Back at the beginning
Sinking
Spinning

And in the end
We still pretend
The time we spend
Not knowing when
You're finally free
And you could be

But it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it

Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like

You can try to stop it but it keeps on coming
You can try to stop it but

Nine Inch Nails - Eraser

Need you
Dream you
Find you
Taste you
Fuck you
Use you
Scar you
Break you
Lose me
Hate me
Smash me
Erase me
Kill me

Nine Inch Nails - The Warning

Some say it was a warning
Some say it's a sign
I was standing right there
When it came down from the sky
The way it spoke to us
You felt it from inside
Said it was up to us
Up to us to decide
"You've become a virus
Killing off his host
We been watching you with all of our eyes
And what you seem to value most
So much potential
Or so we used to say
Your greed, self-importance and your arrogance
You piss it all away
We heard her cry
We have come to intervene
You will change your ways and you will make amends
Or we will wipe this place clean"

Your time is ticking away

Nine Inch Nails - Just Like You Imagined

...

Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth

She comes along
She gets inside
She makes you better than
Anything you've tried
It's in her kiss
The blackest sea
It runs deeper than you
Dare to dream it could be

With teeth
She's holding on
With teeth

Wave goodbye
To what you were
The rules have changed
The lines begin to blur
She makes you hard
It comes on strong
You've finally found
The place where you belong

With teeth
She is the greatest lie of all

I can not go through this again

With teeth
She is the greatest lie of all

She will not let you go
Keeps holding on

This time I'm not coming back

Nine Inch Nails - Where Is Everybody?

Did you happen to catch
Or did it happen so fast
What you thought would always last
Has passed you by
Is everything speeding up
Or am I slowing down
Just spinning around
And I don't know why
All the pieces don't fit
Thought I really didn't give a shit
I never wanted to be like you
But for all I aspire
I am really a liar
And I'm running out of things I can do

I'd like to stay
But every day
Everything pushes me further away
If you could show
Help me to know
How it's supposed to be
Where did it go?

Pleading and
Needing and
Bleeding and
Breeding and
Feeding
Exceeding
Where is everybody?
Trying and
Lying
Defying
Denying
Crying and
Dying
Where is everybody?

Well, okay, enough
You've had your fun
But come on there has got to be someone
That hasn't yet become
So numb
And succumb
And
God damn I am so tired of pretending
Of wishing I was ending
When all I'm really doing is trying to hide
And keep it inside
And fill it with lies
Open my eyes?
Maybe I wish I could try

Pleading and
Needing and
Bleeding and
Breeding and
Feeding
Exceeding
Where is everybody?
Trying and
Lying
Defying
Denying
Crying and
Dying
Where is everybody?

Nine Inch Nails - A Warm Place

Nine Inch Nails - The Four Of Us Are Dying

Nine Inch Nails - Copy Of A

I am just a copy of a copy of a copy

Everything I say has come before

Assembled into something into something into something

I don't know for certain anymore

I am just a shadow of a shadow of a shadow

Always trying to catch up with myself

I am just an echo of an echo of an echo

Listening to someone's cry for help

   

Look what you had to start

Why all the change of heart?

You need to play your part

A copy of a copy of a

Now look what you've gone and done

Well that doesn't sound like fun

See I'm not the only one

Copy of a copy of a

 

I am little pieces little pieces little pieces

Pieces that we picked up on the way

Imprinted with a purpose with a purpose with a purpose

A purpose that's become quite clear today

   

I am just a finger on a trigger on a finger

Doing everything I'm told to do

Always my intention my intention your attention

Doing everything you tell me to

  

Look what you had to start

Why all the change of heart?

You need to play your part

A copy of a copy of a

Now look what you've gone and done

Well that doesn't sound like fun

See I'm not the only one

Copy of a copy of a

Nine Inch Nails - Sin

You give me the reason                        

You give me control

I gave you my Purity

My Purity you stole

Did you think I wouldn't recognize this compromise?

Am I just too stupid to realize?

Stale incense, old sweat and lies, lies, lies

    

It comes down to this

Your kiss

Your fist

And your strain

It gets under my skin

Within

Take in

The extent of my sin

    

You give me the anger

You give me the nerve

Carry out my sentence

I get what I deserve

I'm just an effigy to be defaced

To be disgraced

Your need for me has been replaced

And if I can't have everything well then just give me a taste

    

It comes down to this

Your kiss

Your fist

And your strain

It gets under my skin

Within

Take in

The extent of my sin

Nine Inch Nails - Ahead of Ourselves

Everything all figured out

Like it was meant to be

We’re on the precipice (I can feel it)

We’re on the precipice

Created us in his image

Better be proud of his work

That is if he existed (not so sure anymore)

That is if he existed

And we just can’t help ourselves

And we just can’t help ourselves

And we just can’t help ourselves

And we just can’t help ourselves (I don’t think that’s me)

Obsolete

Insignificant

Antiquated 

Irrelevant

Celebration of ignorance

Why try change when you know you can’t?

Did you ever get that feeling?

Man I can’t seem to shake it

Not quite as clever as we think we are

Knuckle dragging animal

When we could have done anything

We wound up building this we deserve

With illusions of enlightenment

With our snouts in the dirt

With our snouts in the dirt

Obsolete

Insignificant

Antiquated 

Irrelevant

Celebration of ignorance

Why try change when you know you can’t?

We got ahead of ourselves

We got ahead of ourselves

We got ahead of ourselves

We got ahead of ourselves

Nine Inch Nails - Shit Mirror

Got a new face and it feels alright
Power and strength and appetite
I eat your loathing, hate, and fear
Should probably stay away from here

Hey look what's staring back at you
Caught reflecting in your eyes
Well I'm becoming something new
It's getting hard to recognize

New world
New times
Mutation
Feels alright

I tried a bit, then I tried some more
I left her on the bathroom floor
I think I knew when it crossed the line
I think I knew the whole goddamned time

Hey look what's staring back at you
Caught reflecting in your eyes
Well I'm becoming something new
It's getting hard to recognize

New world
New times
Mutation
Feels alright

Nine Inch Nails - Survivalism

Wanted to cap somebody
Wanted to buck em' down
Wanted to pull the trigger
Just to hear the fucking sound
I got my propaganda
I get my cable free
I hang it from my neck
And go to work from tree to tree
It's gotta be the poison
They're putting in my food
It takes me by the brain
And marks me to my every move
I try to change the channel
The channel's changing me
I take the cup and prop it up
Before I start to pee
   
I stumble from the toilet
I'm sprawled across the floor
I feel my head expand
Beyond the room
Beyond the door
I'm in an oval office
In an electric chair
I sign my name
Beneath the claim
That I don't really care
I got survivalism
You've got my claim to fame
I got the right to say
I'm fighting under Jesus' name
I see the .45's
But I wont act surprised
Lost my faith along the way
And found myself believing your lies

Nine Inch Nails - Reptile

She spreads herself wide open to let the insects in
She leaves a trail of honey to show me where she’s been
She has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin
Seeds from a thousand others drip down from within
   
Oh my beautiful liar
Oh my precious whore
My disease my infection
I am so impure
   
Devils speak of the ways in which she'll manifest
Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress
Need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness
I now know the depths I reach are limitless
   
Oh my beautiful liar
Oh my precious whore
My disease my infection
I am so impure

Nine Inch Nails - Sanctified

It's still getting worse after everything I've tried
What if I found a way to wash it all aside
What if she touches with those fingertips
As the words spill out like fire from her lips

If she says come inside I'll come inside for her
If she says give it all I'll give everything to her
I am justified
I am purified
I am sanctified
Inside you

Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel
As she walks me through the nicest parts of Hell
I still dream of lips I never should have kissed
Well she knows exactly what I can't resist

If she says come inside I'll come inside for her
If she says give it all I'll give everything to her
I am justified
I am purified
I am sanctified
Inside you

I'm just caught up in another of her spells
She's turning me into someone else
Every day I hope and pray that this will end
But when I can I do it all again

If she says come inside I'll come inside for her
If she says give it all I'll give everything to her
I am justified
I am purified
I am sanctified
Inside you

As surely as the blade's course is run
Maybe my kingdom's finally come

Nine Inch Nails - Into The Void

Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away

Talking to myself all the way to the station
Pictures in my head of the final destination
All lined up
(All the ones that aren't allowed to stay)
Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away

Tried to save a place from the cuts and the scratches
Tried to overcome the complications and the catches
Nothing ever grows and the sun doesn't shine all day
Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away

Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away

Nine Inch Nails - Over And Out

Time is running out
I don’t know what I’m waiting for

I think this keeps happening
Over and over again
Feel like I’ve been here before
Over and over again

Am I remembering you correctly
Over and over again

I’ve always been 10 years ahead of you
Over and over again

Nine Inch Nails - Love Is Not Enough

The more that we take
The paler we get
I can't remember what it is
We try to forget
The tile on the floor
So cold it can sting
In your eyes is a place
Worth remembering

For you to go and take this, to smash it apart
I've gone all this fucking way
To wind up back at
Back at the start

Hey, the closer we think we are
Well it only got us so far
Now you got anything left to show
No no I didn't think so
Hey, the sooner we realize
We cover ourselves with lies
But underneath we're not so tough
And love is not enough

Well it hides in the dark
Like the withering vein
We didn't give it a mouth
So it cannot complain
It never really had a chance
We'd never really make it through
I never think I'd believed
I believed I could get better with you

Hey, the closer we think we are
Well it only got us so far
Now you got anything left to show
No no I didn't think so
Hey, the sooner we realize
We cover ourselves with lies
But underneath we're not so tough
And love is not enough

Nine Inch Nails - We're In This Together

I've become impossible
Holding on to when
When everything seemed to matter more
The two of us
All used and beaten up
Watching fate as it flows down the path we have chose

You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me if the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you

Awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
They pick and they pull
Trying to get their fingers in
Well they've got to kill what we found
Well they've got to hate what they fear
Well they've got to make it go away
Well they've got to make it disappear

The farther I fall I'm beside you
As lost as I get I will find you
The deeper the wound I'm inside you
Forever and ever I am a part of

You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
If the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you

All that we were is gone we have to hold on
All that we were is gone we have to hold on
When all our hope is gone we have to hold on
All that we were is gone but we can hold on

You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
Even after everything
You're the queen and I'm the king
Nothing else means anything
