At the Heart of It All - Nine Inch Nails

I know your head is heavy But move along when your ready to I'll leave signs to keep you steady Hope one day they may lead me back to you Stay running I know You're tired Had enough of Wasting precious time The day's coming When we see new horizons Oh and I find you in the heart of it all In the heart of it all The heart of it all In the heart of it all Oh and I find you in the heart of it all In the heart of it all (Heavy) (Ready to) Stay running I know You're tired Oh and I find you in the heart of it all In the heart of it all The heart of it all In the heart of it all Oh and I find you in the heart of it all In the heart of it all

Docile and ready to connect to your controlled smile Your eyes don't match up with your grin You try to model all that there is left of your face Meanwhile, there's been a murder at the home They found no body, just the bones They found a mummy left alone Docile and just about to snap I didn't hit him in the head Had no idea he'd be dead Another bloody Sunday afternoon Here alone in the backrooms I've been controlling my convictions under supreme superstition I think you know what I know And it's the end of it all Hostile and ready to compete I crave destruction for defeat Technology that's obsolete I cannot fathom the way that you see me The way you use your faint heartbeat to illustrate the debt of me Don't you take my life away I heard you say I have been so good today I swear I'll change Don't you take my life Another bloody Sunday afternoon Here alone in the backrooms I've been controlling my convictions under supreme superstition I think you know what I know And it's the end of it all

Turn around Every now and then I get a little bit lonely You're never coming 'round Turn around Every now and then I get a little bit tired Of listening to the sound of my tears Every now and then I get a little bit nervous The best of all the years have gone by Every now and then I get a little bit terrified Then I see the look in your eyes Bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart Bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart And I need you now tonight And I need you more than ever And if you only hold me tight We'll be holding on forever And we'll only be making it right 'Cause we'll never be wrong Together we can take it to the end of the line Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time I don't know what to do, and I'm always in the dark We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks I really need you tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Once upon a time, I was falling in love Now I'm only falling apart There's nothing I can do A total eclipse of the heart Once upon a time there was light in my life But now there's only love in the dark Nothing I can say A total eclipse of the heart Turn around bright eyes Every now and then I fall apart Bright eyes Every now and then I fall apart And I need you now tonight And I need you more than ever And if you'll only hold me tight We'll be holding on forever And we'll only be making it right 'Cause we'll never be wrong Together we can take it to the end of the line Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time I don't know what to do, and I'm always in the dark We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks I really need you tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Once upon a time I was falling in love Now I'm only falling apart There's nothing I can do A total eclipse of the heart Total eclipse of the heart

This is the first day Of my last days Built it up, now I 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 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 I want to But I can't turn back 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 This world full of you This world full of you This world full of

So impressed with all you do Tried so hard to be like you Flew too high and burnt the wing Lost my faith in everything Lick around divine debris Taste the wealth of hate in me Shedding skin succumb defeat This machine is obsolete Made the choice to go away Drink the fountain of decay Tear a hole exquisite red Fuck the rest and stab it dead Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore Too fucked up to care anymore Poison to my rotten core Too fucked up to care anymore Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore Too fucked up to care anymore Poison to my rotten core Too fucked up to care anymore In the back, off the side and far away Is a place, where I hide, where I stay Tried to say, tried to ask, I needed to All alone, by myself, where were you? How could I ever think it's funny how Everything you swore, it wouldn't change, is different now Just like you would always say, we'll make it through Then my head fell apart and where were you? How could I ever think it's funny how Everything you swore would never change is different now Like you said, you and me will make it through Didn't quite, fell apart, where the fuck were you?

Need you Dream you Find you Taste you Fuck you Use you Scar you Break you Lose me Hate me Smash me Erase me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me

She comes along, she gets inside She makes you better than anything you've tried It's in her kiss that's black as sea And it runs deeper than you dared to dream it could be With teeth With teeth With teeth With teeth Wave goodbye to what you were The rules have changed, the lines begin to blur She makes you hard, it comes on strong You finally found the place where you belong With teeth With teeth With teeth With teeth I cannot go through this again I cannot go through this again I cannot go through this again I cannot go through this again I cannot go through this again I cannot go through this again I cannot go through this again I cannot go through this again With teeth With teeth With teeth With teeth She will not let you go Keeps on and on She will not let you go Keeps on and on This time I'm not coming back She will not let you go This time I'm not coming back She will not let you go
