I have a name
I wear it like the slogans
Glorifying accidents
Written in the newspapers
What would they say?
If they knew I have a story
I have views I don't want to share
Like the diary I kept
Every time you noticed me
A journal kept with regularity
But no dates, just days
Which became weeks and months
And page after page my life
Can be read like the newspapers
With their slogans
Glorifying accidents

[ something I can never have ]

I still recall the taste of my tears
Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
My favourite dreams of you still wash ashore
Scraping through my head 'til I don't wasn't to sleep
Anymore

Come on and tell me
Make this all go away
I'm down to just one thing
And I'm starting to scare myself
Make this all go away
You make this all go away
I just want some thing
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 tearing me apart
Grey would be the colour, if I had a heart

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 faded fucking reminder of who I used to be

I think I knew what you meant
That night on my bed
Still picking at this scab
I wish you were dead
Your sweat and Perry Ellis
Just stains on my sheet

~ T. Reznor

 
   
   
     
   
   
     
 

[sic]

Make me sick
Make me bad
Take me, shake me
Mould me, wake me
That sleeps
She sleeps in me

I haven't tears enough
Now everything is done
And dust
Reproaching, aching soul

I haven't words enough
Now everything is done
And dust
Tear

Let what bound us
Set us free
Let me see her once more
The replacement me

I haven't hurt enough
