I survive everything
I have tried everything
I survive everything
I have tried everything
Hey and for what it is worth
I really used to believe
That maybe there's some great thing
That we could achieve
Wish there was something real! Wish there was something true!
I'm okay
I'm on track
On my way
And I can't turn back
As I lie here and stare
The fabric starts to tear
It's far beyond repair
And I don't really care
As far as I have gone
I knew what side I'm on
But now I'm not so sure
The line begins to blur
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 so hard to make the pieces all fit, smash it apart just for the fuck of it
Made the choice to go away
Drink the fountain of decay
Tear a hole exquisite red
Fuck the rest and stab it dead
Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore
Too fucked up to care anymore
Poisoned to my rotten core
Too fucked up to care anymore
Ahhhh the joys of addiction.
My disease, my infection. I am so impure.
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

Do you know how far this has gone? Just how damaged have I become? When I think I can overcome. It runs ever deeper.
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart; and it's all right where it belongs.
I think I used to have a purpose. And 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.
Sometimes I think I'm happy here. Sometimes I still pretend.
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.
How did I get here? How can I go home?
ugh.. And that was before I knew I'd be putting in 4 hrs of OT...

And I just slowly fade away.
Why does it come as a surprise?
To think that I was so naïve
Maybe didn't mean so much
But it meant everything to me
Not a happy thread, is it?
How could I, ever think, it's funny how everything you swore would never change, is different now, like you said you and me, would make it through, didn't quite fell apart where the fuck were you?
The day the whole world went away.
Everything pushes me further way.

What's great about NIN and Trent's writing is that the lyrics are abstract and specific at the same time. So you can really try to read in to what the lyrics mean to the artist, but it's so well written and abstract, that you can also relate it to your own situation.
That's exactly what I've had in mind for quite some time. It's one of the largest reasons why I keep coming back for more whenever it comes to likes of Nine Inch Nails. It just has that much of a hold on me, and has often moved me.
And in a dream I'm a different me
With a perfect you
We fit perfectly
And for once in my life I feel complete
And I still wanna ruin it
Afraid to look
As clear as day
This plan has long been underway
I hear them call
I cannot stay
The voice inviting me away

I am so dirty on the inside.
I'm just trying to find my way.

Less concerned about fitting into the world...
Uh uh uh ohhh...
Uh uh uh ohhh... (Ooooooooh)
Uh uh uh ohhh...
Uh uh uh ohhh...
Where the fuck were you?!
Try so hard to make the pieces all fit! Smash it apart, just for the fuck of it!
This goes on...and on...and on..
Every day is exactly the same...
A lifetime of fucking things up fixed in one determined flash.
This paranoia turns to fear.
I can not tell the difference anymore. I can not trust myself.
