Nine Inch Nails

I feel, my hatred grow all the more extreme.

If I could start again,
A million miles away,
I would keep myself,
I would find a way.

Seems like, salvation comes only in our dreams.

I just want something, I can never have.

He couldn't believe how easy it was,
He put the gun into his face —
Bang!
(so much blood from such a tiny little hole.)

Problems have solutions.
A lifetime of fucking things up fixed in one determined flash.

I wear this crown of shit,
Upon my liar's chair,
Full of broken thoughts,
I cannot repair.
Beneath the stains of time,
The feelings disappear.
You are someone else,
I am still right here.

After everything I've done, I hate myself, for what I've become.

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.

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.

You could have it all,
My empire of dirt.
I will let you down,
I will make you hurt...

I hurt myself today,
To see if I'd still feel.
I focus on the pain,
The only thing that's real.
The needle tears a hole,
The old familiar sting;
Try to kill it all away,
But I remember everything.

I used to be so big and strong,
I used to know my right from wrong,
I used to never be afraid,
I used to be somebody.
I used to have something inside,
Now just this hole that's open wide.
I used to want it all,
I used to be somebody.

I'm losing ground,
Well, you know how this world can beat you down.
And I'm made of clay
I fear I'm the only one who thinks this way.
