hey God, i believed your promises, your promises and lies

terrible lie

                               (terrible lie)

my head is filled with disease
my skin is begging you please  (terrible lie)
i'm on my hands and knees
i want so much to believe

you fucking promised me

you promised me
you promised me
you promised me

you promised me
 

Piggy (live)

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
it 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

now i'm down in it

shut up so what what the fuck 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 i'm down in it

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'll cross my heart i'll hope to die
but the needle's already in my eye
and all the world's fucking weight is on my back
and i don't even know why
what i used to think was me is a fading memory
i looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye"

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

now i'm down in it
i was up above it
i was up above it
and now i'm down in it
i was up above it

rain rain go away come again some other day
rain rain go away come again some other day
rain rain go away come again some other day

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

i was up above it
now i'm down in it

a song about fucking

i'm drunk
right now i know
and i
should or shouldn't do
lay my hands on Heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars
while the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car
nothing quite like the feel of something new

maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up in you
maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up in you

this is the only time i really feel alive
this is the only time i really feel this right

what'd you throw up here? what'd you throw? can i offer you a towel offstage? thanks man

i swear
right now i found everything i need
the sweat in your eyes the blood in your veins are listening to me
well i want to trip it up and swim in it until i drown
my moral standing is lying down
nothing quite like the feel of something new

maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up in you
maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up
maybe i'm all messed up in you

this is the only time i really feel alive
this is the only time i really feel alive

this is the only time i really feel alive
this is the only time i really feel alive
 
 

 

are you ready? yah?

this is the first day of my last days
built it up now take it apart
climbed up real high now fall down real far
no need for me to stay
the last thing left i just threw it away
i put my faith in god and my trust in you
now there's nothing more fucked up i could do

wish there was something real wish there was something true
wish there was something real in this world full of you

well i'm the one without a soul
i'm the one with this big fucking hole
no new tale to tell
twenty-six years on my way to hell
gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck
don't think you're having all the fun
you know me i hate everyone

wish there was something real wish there was something true
wish there was something real in this world full of you

wish there was something real wish there was something true
wish there was something real in this world full of you
wish there was something real wish there was something true
wish there was something real in this world full
this world full of you
this world full of you
this world full
 
 

 

(bowie:)
"i hurt myself today
to see if i still feel
i focus on the pain
the only thing that's real"

(reznor:)
"the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but i remember everything"

(both:)
"what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt"

(reznor:)
"i wear this crown of shit
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
i cannot repair"

(bowie:)
"beneath these stains of time
the feelings disappear
and you are someone else
and i am still right here"

(reznor:)
"what have i become?
my sweetest friend"

(both:)
"everyone i know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt

"if i could start again
a million miles away
i would keep myself
i would find a way"
 
 

 

i still recall the taste of your tears
echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
scraping through my head 'till i don't want to sleep anymore

you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing
i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i just want something
i just want something i can never have

you always were the one to show me how
back then i couldn't do the things that i can do now
this thing is slowly taking me apart
grey would be the color if i had a heart
come on tell me

you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing
i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make it all go away
i just want something
i just want something i can never have
i can never have
i can never

who ever threw that: fuck you.  alright?

in this place it seems like such a shame
though it all looks different now,
i know it's still the same
everywhere i look you're all i see
just a fading fucking reminder of who i used to be
come on tell me

you make this all go away
you make this all go away
i'm down to just one thing
i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away
you make it all go away
i just want something
i just want something i can never have
i just want something i can never have
i can never have
i can never have

thank you

and your strain
it gets under my skin
within
take in
well my sin
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

slave screams he think he knows what he wants
slave screams thinks he has something to say
slave screams he hears but doesn't want to listen
slave screams he's being beat into submission

don't open your eyes you won't like what you see
the devils of truth steal the souls of the free
don't open your eyes take it from me
i have found
you can find
happiness in slavery
happiness in slavery

slave screams he spends his life learning conformity
slave screams he claims he has his own identity
slave screams he's going to cause the system to fall
slave screams but he's glad to be chained to that wall

don't open your eyes you won't like what you see
the blind have been blessed with security
don't open your eyes take it from me
i have found
you can find
happiness in slavery
happiness in slavery
happiness in slavery
happiness in slavery
happiness

i don't know what i am i don't know where i've been
human junk just words and so much skin
stick my hands thru the cage of this endless routine
just some flesh caught in this big broken machine

happiness in slavery
happiness in slavery
happiness in slavery (slavery)
happiness in slavery (slavery)
happiness in slavery (slavery)
happiness in slavery (slavery)
happiness            (slavery)
happiness            (slavery)
happiness            (slavery)
happiness            (slavery)
happiness            (slavery)
happiness            (slavery)
happiness            (it controls you, it controls you)
happiness            (it controls you)
 
 

 

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
wake up
wake up
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 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 with 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 and i throw it away
after everything i've done
i hate myself for what i've become

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 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
i tried
and i gave up
i tried
and i gave up
i tried
i gave up
i tried
i gave up
i tried
i gave up
i tried
i gave up
i tried
i gave up

smashed up my sanity
smashed up 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

smashed up my sanity
smashed up 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

smashed up my sanity
smashed up integrity         (throw it away)
smashed up what i believed in
smashed up what's left of me (throw it away)
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true
gonna smash myself to pieces
i don't know what else to do (throw it away)

smashed up my sanity
smashed up integrity         (throw it away)
smashed up what i believed in
smashed up what's left of me (throw it away)
smashed up my everything
smashed up all that was true (throw it away)
gonna smash myself to pieces

i hurt myself today
to see if i 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

what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt

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

what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt

you let me violate you
you let me desecrate you
you let me penetrate you
you let me complicate you
help me
i broke apart my insides
help me
i've got no soul to sell
help me
the only thing that works for me
help me get away from myself

i wanna fuck you like an animal
i wanna feel you from the inside
i wanna fuck you like an animal
my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god

you can have my isolation
you can have the hate that it brings
you can have my absence of faith
you can have my everything
help me
tear down my reason
help me
it's your sex i can smell
help me
you make me perfect
help me become somebody else

i wanna fuck you like an animal
i wanna feel you from the inside
i wanna fuck you like an animal
my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god

all through every forest
above the trees
within my stomach
scraped off my knees
i drink the honey
inside your hive
you are the reason
i stay alive
 

 

i got my head but my head is unraveling
can't keep control can't keep track of where it's traveling
i got my heart but my heart's no good
and you're the only one that's understood

i come along but i don't know where you're taking me
i shouldn't go but you're wrenching dragging shaking me
turn off the sun pull the stars from the sky
the more i give to you the more i die

and i want you
and i want you
and i want you
and i want you

you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug

you make me hard when i'm all soft inside
i see the truth when i'm all stupid-eyed
the arrow goes straight through my heart
without you everything just falls apart

my blood wants to say hello to you
my fears want to get inside of you
my soul is so afraid to realize
how very little good is left of me

and i want you
and i want you
and i want you
and i want you

you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
perfect drug
perfect drug
