Still can make out pieces with the opening sewed shut
Yeah, parts of me are slowing down and time is speeding up Spiders crawling everywhere, infected Japanese You can tell all your friends you're just a tourist But you can't understand what they've planned until you try to leave Feels like I've been here before Yeah, I don't know anymore And I don't care anymore Feels like I've been here before Cold and black and infinite with nothing left to lose If you try to keep the flies away, the makeup hides the bruise Her branches are the bones that break, become a perfect line And no, he won't be just a man who's Sometimes He won't be just a man who's Sometimes Feels like I've been here before Yeah, I don't know anymore And I don't care anyway I think I recognize Yes, I have been here before Yeah, I don't care anymore Don't give a fuck anymore Yeah, I don't care 02. Dear World, Music & lyrics by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross
Yes, everyone seems to be asleep
Hey look, you didn't even notice You couldn't even tell Just when it started happening Maybe just as well After all, everything is getting unfamiliar now Trajectory in decline And we become obsolete A frame at a time I'm locked inside here I have to stay With people who aren't here All the way Pictures and faces On display Of people who aren't here All the way And you didn't even notice And you didn't even notice That you're missing Dear world, I can hardly recognize you anymore And yet I remain certain there is an answer in you I feel like I have lived so long Sometimes run out of things to try to do I can't concentrate What about... I begin to go through another that we have been I have been entirely patient No, no, not this time I am leaving because I can't recognize who I have been You go on spoiling It's happening Without me you didn't even notice Of course it's been happening all along Permanent intervals As you become obsolete Who are you? Oh, this place... I can't concentrate But I know I can't trust myself I'm locked inside here I have to stay With people who aren't here All the way Pictures and faces On display Of people who aren't here All the way Yes, everyone seems to be asleep 03. She's Gone Away Music & lyrics by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross
You dig in places till your fingers bleed
Spread the infection where you spill your seed I can't remember what she came here for I can't remember much of anything anymore She's gone She's gone She's gone away A little mouth opened up inside Yeah, I was watching on the day she died We keep licking while the skin turns black Cut along the length (but you can't get the feeling back) She's gone She's gone She's gone away Are you still here? 04. The Idea Of You Music & lyrics by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross
I'm going back
Of course I am As if I ever had a choice Back to what I always knew I was On the inside Back to what I really am Look at this pathetic place I made With little bits of sticks and hair And anything I found along the way And tell yourself, you know? You're not really what you know you are You know? Of course you do I think I may have even listened to you I think I may have even listened to you At the height of my demise Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe... Break through the surface and breathe I am forgiven I am free I am a field on fire And oh my God, I have missed you It has been so long And I am stronger than I have ever been in my decline I am stronger than I have ever been in my decline For now I know, now I know, now I know for certain Now I know for certain Oh, burn motherfucker Carry the carcass and throw it on Pull up a chair and watch The flies come roaring out And will surround the entire world And blacken out the sky and every last one of you Like a plague of locusts Like an exit Like an end Like an end Like an end Like the end Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe... Break through the surface and breathe I am forgiven I am free I am a field on fire I can't tell if I am dreaming anymore 05.
