Hurt
Nine Inch Nails cover

I hurt myself today
To see if i could feel
I hurt myself you said
To try to make him feel
So i hurt myself again
To see if he'd see me
I hurt myself again
I know he never could see me


Little Earthquakes

Yellow bird flying
Gets shot in the wing
Good year for hunters
And Christmas parties

And I hate
And I hate
And I hate
And I hate
Elevator music
The way we fight
The way I'm left here silent


Oh, these little earthquakes
Here we go again
Oh, these little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces


We danced in graveyards
With vampires 'til dawn
We laughed in the faces of kings
Never afraid to burn

And I hate
And I hate
And I hate
And I hate
Disintegration
Watching us with her
Black winged roses that safely changed their color

Oh, these little earthquakes
Here we go again
Oh, these little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces


I can't reach you
I can't reach you
I can't reach you
I can't reach you
Can't reach you

Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again

Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again

Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again

Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again

Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again

Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again

Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again

Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again

Oh, these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces


Never Seen Blue

Some boy you are
To take me by the hand
Through an elevator

Got a little red line that tells you, boy
Where the razor's been

You said girl if you think
You can turn that violator
You'll finally be that woman
Yes, finally be that woman

That's been frozen in that pretty silver girl

Yes,

And I've never seen blue
Like the blues he drives
In and around
And through me again
And I've never seen eyes
Like the blues he drives
In and around
And through me again
Through me again
Through me again

Some boy you are

To wear my color red
To wear it very proudly
And wear it like a lady knows
How to cross her legs
Where the birdy's been

And I've never seen blue
Like the blues he drives
In and around
And through me again
Said I've never seen eyes
Like the blues he drives
In and around
And through me again
Through me again
Through me again

Said now learn
Say goodbye to those would, say


Precious Things

So I ran faster
But it caught me here
Yes my loyalties turned
Like my ankle

In the seventh grade
Running after Billy
Running after the rain

These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break their hold on me


He said you're really an ugly girl
But I like the way you play

And I died
But I thanked him
Can you believe that
Sick, sick

Holding on to his picture
Dressing up every day
I wanna smash the faces
Of those beautiful boys
Those Christian boys
So you can make me cum
That doesn't make you Jesus

These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break their hold on me


I remember
Yes in my peach party dress
No one dared
No one cared
To tell me where the pretty girls are
Those demigods
With their Nine-Inch Nails
And Little Fascist Panties
Tucked inside the heart of every nice girl

These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away

These precious things
Let them break
Let them wash away

These these precious things
Let them bleed now
Let them wash away

These these precious things
Let them break their hold on me


Silent All These Years

Excuse me but can I be you for a while
My dog won't bite if you sit real still
I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yelling at me again
Yeah I can hear that

Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say you know but nothing comes
Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up
Yeah I can hear that

But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes I said
Sometimes I hear my voice and it's been here
Silent all these years

So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
What's so amazing about really deep thoughts
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How's that thought for you
My scream got lost in a paper cup
You think there's a heaven
Where some screams have gone

I got 25 bucks and a cracker
Do you think it's enough
To get us there

Cause what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes I said
Sometimes I hear my voice and it's been here
Silent all these


Years go by will I still be waiting
For somebody else to understand
Years go by if I'm stripped of my beauty
And the orange clouds raining in my head
Years go by will I choke on my tears
'Til finally there is nothing left
One more casualty
You know we're too easy, easy, easy


Well I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let's hear what you think of me now
But baby don't look up
The sky is falling

Your mother shows up in a nasty dress
It's your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody looking at you

Here take hold of my hand
Yeah I can hear them

But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of yours with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes I said
Sometimes I hear my voice
I hear my voice
I hear my voice
And it's been here

Silent all these years
I've been here
Silent all these years
Silent all these
Silent all these years
