Trent Reznor

i'm going to get so high
you'll never get inside
i swore i'd never turn into you
i'm closer all the time

i made it 10 miles high
can't tell my truth from my lies
i swore to god i would never turn into you
i'm getting closer... all the time

tear it all down
tear it all down
tear it all down
tear it all down

The best thing about life is knowing you should be here (x6) [Inaudible]

the best thing about life is
knowing you put it together
the best thing about life is
knowing you put it together
the best thing about life is
knowing you put it together
the best thing about life is
knowing you put it together
the best thing about life is
knowing you put it together
the best thing about life is
knowing you put it together

Watching all the insects march along
Seem to know just right where they belong
Smears a face reflecting in the chrome
Hiding in the crowd, I'm all alone
No one's heard a single word I've said
They don't sound as good outside my head
It looks as though the past is here to stay
I've become a million miles aw-
Why do you get all the love in the world?
Why do you get all the love in the world?

All the jagged edges disappear
Colors all are brighter when you're near
The stars are all afire in the sky
Sometimes I get so lonely, I could
Why do you get all the love in the world?
Why do you get all the love in the world?
Why do you get all the love in the world?
Why do you get all the love in the world?

Why do you get all the love in the world?
Why do you get all the love in the world?
Why do you get all the love in the world?
Why do you get all the love in the world?

I want to break it up
I want to smash it up
I want to fuck it up
I want to watch it come down

I am all alone this time around
Sometimes on the side I hear a sound
Places parallel I know it's you
Feel the little pieces bleeding through

And on this goes on and on and on
and on and on and on and on
This goes on and on and on and on
and on and on and on and on

Now that I've decided not to stay
I can feel me start to fade away
Everything is back where it belongs
I will be beside you before long

And on this goes on and on and on

Ooooh

This world rejects me
This world threw me away
This world never gave me a chance
This world's gonna have to pay

I don't believe in your institutions
I did what you wanted me to
Like the cancer in the system
I've got a little surprise for you

Something inside of me, has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there? Did you not realize
This thing inside of me, it screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could
Burn

I look down there where you're standing
Flock of sheep out on display
Saw your lives burned up around you
I can take it all away

Something inside of me, has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there? Did you not realize
This thing inside of me, it screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could
I'm gonna burn this whole world down

I never was a part of you (burn)

I am your savior (burn)
I am corruption (burn)
I am the angel (burn)
Of your destruction (burn)
I am perversion (burn)
Secret desire (burn)
I am your future (burn)
Swallowed all up in fire

He pushed a button and it dropped a bomb
You pushed a button and could watch it on the television
Those motherfuckers didn't last too long ha ha
I'm sick of hearing 'bout the haves and the have nots
Have some personal accountability
The biggest problem with the way that we've been doing things is
The more we let you have the less that I'll be keeping for me
Well I used to stand for something
Now I'm on my hands and knees
Traded in my God for this one

Don't give a shit about the temperature in Guatemala

Ain't gonna worry bout no future generations and a
I'm sure somebody's gonna figure it out

You're only angry 'cause you wish you were in my position
Now nod your head because you know that I'm right—all right!

Someone take these dreams away
That point me to another day
A duel of personalities
That stretch all true reality

They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me

When figures from the past stand tall
And mocking voices ring the hall
Imperialistic house of prayer
Conquistadores who took their share

They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me

Calling me, Calling me
Calling me, Calling me

They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me

blank stare
disrepair
there's a big black hole gonna eat me up someday
(but) someday

s away
like a memory - or a place that you'd rather be
some place
lost in space
an itch in my head that's telling me somewhere
somewhere
out there anywhere I don't care get me out of here

if I could feel
all the pins and the pricks
if you were real
I could take what's apart and put it all back together now

this will come true
help me get through
into you
deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep
all I can do
driving me through
into you
deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep

one track
got you on your back
your skin speaks up but you lips couldn't say it
right now I know somehow
we could take the chance and we could make it make it
right here make it all disappear
everything that we've been missing missing
you make me feel
like there's a part of me
that I want to get back again

make this come true
help me get through
into you
deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep
all I can do
pushing it through
into you
deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep

all I can do
driving on through
into you
deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep
you're slipping through
I'm coming, too
into you
deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep


we could become
two into one
leave this behind
over and done
everything new
I'm getting through
into you

kinda like a cloud i was up way up in the sky and i was feeling some
feelings
you wouldn't believe sometimes i don't believe them myself and i
decided i was
never coming down. just then a tiny little dot caught my eye it was
just about
too small to see. but i watched it way too long and that dot was
pulling me
down.
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it
well shut up so what what does it matter now. i was swimming in the
haze now i
crawl on the ground. and everything i never liked about you is kind of
seeping
into me. try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything
works
out ("I guess the jokes on me." she said)
i was up above it.

now just this hole that's open wide.
i used to want it all
i used to be somebody
i'll cross my heart and hope to die but the needle's already in my
eye. and
all the world's weight is on my back and i don't even know why. and
what i
used to think was me is just a fading memory
i looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye."
i was up above it.

this is how
it begins
push it away but it all comes back again
all the flesh
all the sin
there was a time when it used to mean just about everything

just like now

breathe, echoing the sun
time start slowing down
sink until i drown
(please) i don't ever want to make it stop

and it keeps repeating
will you please complete me?

never be enough
to fill me up

watch the white
turn to red
it fills up the hole but it grows somewhere else instead
all my life
yeah yeah yeah yeah, but it just lest me dead
(well guess what?)
the world is over and i realize it was all in my head

now everything is clear
i erase the fear
i can disappear
(please) i don't ever want to make it stop

you can never leave me
will you please complete me

never be enough
to fill me up

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again, that might have been a dream

I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I’ve been told
I really don’t want them to come around, oh no

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I’m happy here
(Sometimes)
Sometimes, yet I still pretend

I can’t remember how this got started
Oh, but I can tell you exactly how it will end

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I’ll write it on a little piece of paper
I’m hoping, someday, you might find
Well I’ll hide it behind something
They won’t look behind

I am still inside her
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could’ve been any other way
But I just don’t know, I don’t know what else I can do

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
(Every day is the same!)

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them
to come around Oh no
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love
here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
I can feel their eyes
are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes yet I still pretend
I can't remember
how this got started
But I can tell you exactly
how it will end
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love
here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
I'm writing on a little
piece of paper
I'm hoping someday
you might find
Well I'll hide it
behind something
They won't look behind
I'm still inside here
A little bit comes
bleeding through
I wish this could have been
any other way
But I just don't know
I don't know what else I can do
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love
here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love
here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around
Oh, no
[Chorus:]
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end
[Chorus]
I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
Well I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I'm still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do

perfect little dream the kind that hurts the most
forgot how it feels well almost
no one to blame always the same
open my eyes wake up in flames
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me realize
it took you to make me see the light
smashed up my sanity
smashed up my integrity
smashed up what i believed in
smashed up what's left of me
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true
gonna smash myself to pieces
i don't know what else to do
covered in hope and vaseline
still cannot fix this broken machine
watching the hole it used to be mine
just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline
of the trust i will betray
give it to me i throw it away
after everything i've done i hate myself for what i've become
smashed up my sanity
smashed up my integrity
smashed up what i believed in
smashed up what's left of me
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true
gonna smash myself to pieces
i don't know what else to do
i tried
i gave up
throw it away

perfect little dream the kind that hurts the most

I've never been so certain, I've never been sure
We're on the side of angels
If we believe this love is pure
Is it so hard to trust it
'Cause we've been wrong before
There comes a time in every life
We find the heart we're waiting for
After all the might-have-beens
The close and distant calls
After all the try-agains
Don't be afraid to fall
We're on the side of angels after all

Every time you touch me
Don't you feel it too?
The gentle hand that's guiding us
You to me, me to you
After all the might-have-beens,
The close and distant calls
After all the try-agains,
Don't be afraid to fall
We're on the side of angels after all.

Heaven only knows
Why this took so long
But only Heaven knows
A love is right or wrong

After all the might-have-beens,
The close and distant calls
After all the try-agains,
Don't be afraid to fall
We're on the side of angels,
On the side of angels,
On the side of angels, after all.

I've never been so certain, I've never been sure
We're on the side of angels
If we believe this love is pure
Is it so hard to trust it
'Cause we've been wrong before
There comes a time in every life
We find the heart we're waiting for
After all the might-have-beens
The close and distant calls
After all the try-agains
Don't be afraid to fall
We're on the side of angels after all

Every time you touch me
Don't you feel it too?
The gentle hand that's guiding us
You to me, me to you
After all the might-have-beens,
The close and distant calls
After all the try-agains,
Don't be afraid to fall
We're on the side of angels after all.

Heaven only knows
Why this took so long
But only Heaven knows
A love is right or wrong

After all the might-have-beens,
The close and distant calls
After all the try-agains,
Don't be afraid to fall
We're on the side of angels,
On the side of angels,
On the side of angels, after all.

Getting a
little erratic here
And I don't know
who to trust
I guess they got a way
of reading my mind
I guess I got to adjust
I've got my arms that
flip flop flip flop flip
I got my head on spring
Well I thought I got
you on my side
I haven't got
fucking anything
I'm just a face in the crowd
Nothing to worry about
Not even trying to stand out
I'm getting smaller
and smaller and smaller
And I got nothing to say
It's all been taken away
I just be have and obey
I'm afraid I am starting
to fade away

Uh huh
I kind of
see through the cracks
when I press up on the wall
I'm not looking
to stand up real high
I'd be happy to crawl
I think I'm losing my grip
but I can still make a fist
You know I still
got my one good arm
that I can beat woo
I can beat myself up with
I'm just a face in the crowd
Nothing to worry about
Not even trying to stand out
I'm getting smaller
and smaller and smaller
And I got nothing to say
It's all been taken away
I just be have and obey
I'm afraid I am starting
to fade away
Hey and for
what it was worth
I really used to believe
That maybe there's
some great thing
That we could achieve
And now I can't
tell the difference
Or know what to feel
Between what I've been
trying so hard to see
And what appears to be real

Fading away
Fading away
Fading away
Fading away
My world is getting
smaller everyday
hey hey hey hey
and that's okay
My world is getting
smaller everyday
hey hey hey hey
and that's okay
My world is getting
smaller everyday
hey hey hey hey
and that's okay
My world is getting
smaller everyday
hey hey hey hey
and that's okay

Hey man
Please don't make a sound
Take a look around
Can't you see what's right in front of you?
Aah
Have a little taste
No more time to waste
You don't wanna get left behind, because it's all coming down right now
Now—how
Hard is it to see?
Put your faith in me
I sure wouldn't want to be
Praying to the wrong piece of wood
You should
Get where you belong
Everything you know is wrong
Come on, sing along everybody now
(God Given)
And He gives us sight
And we see the light
And it burns so bright
Now we know we're right
When His kingdom come
And Thy will be done
We have just begun
We're the chosen ones
I would never tell you anything that wasn't absolutely true that hadn't come right from
His mouth and He wants me to tell you
Wait
Step into the light
How can this be right?
I'm afraid we're going to ask you to leave
Guess you can not win
With the color of your skin
You won't be getting in to the Promised Land
Besides
This is just another case
You people still don't know your place
Step aside, out the way, wipe that look off your face
We are the divine
Separated from the swine
Come on, sing along everybody now
(God Given)
And He gives us sight
And we see the light
And it burns so bright
Now we know we're right
When His kingdom come
And Thy will be done
We have just begun
We're the chosen ones
And He gives us sight
And we see the light
And it burns so bright

Are you looking for the truth or for another fight?
If you're wanna give me what I want, then give it up tonight.
Freedom, aint looking for the,
aint looking for no fight.
If you're wanna give me what I want, then give it up tonight.

The world that circles around me could benefit from silence.
This song is my enemy, watch how I become it.
Cradled by mystery and make believe,
I am floating in the other night.
Children wish upon me,
this man and his army,
are praying in their fortresses making guns of steeples,
insurgents of people,
the messiahs and immigrant detained at the border.
Severed from his trinity, his wife and his daughter.

America the beautiful, now beheaded hoedown.
Lynched birds throw down,
it seems our favorite pastime has become our most fair future.
Technology has failed us,
gunshots by computer.

Gunshots by computer.

Are you looking for the truth or for another fight?
If you're wanna give me what I want, then give it up tonight.
Freedom, and looking for the, and looking for the fight.
If you're gonna give me what I want, then give it up tonight.

You're keeping in step in the line
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
'Cause you do what you're told
But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you wanna change it?
What if this whole crusade's a charade
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood which we dine
Justified in the name of the Holy and the Divine
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you wanna change it?
So naive
I keep holding on to what I wanna believe
I can see
But I keep holding on and on and on and on
Will you bite the hand that feeds you?
Will you stay down on your knees? (x8)

he sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
he tries to tell me what i put inside of me
he's got the answers to ease my curiosity
he dreamed up a god and called it christianity
your god is dead and no one cares
if there is a hell i will see you there
he flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
he made a virus that would kill off all the swine
his perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
demands devotion atrocities done in his name
your god is dead and no one cares
drowning in his own hypocrisy
and if there is a hell i will see you there
burning with your god in humility
will you die for this?
