The Four of Us Are Dying - Nine Inch Nails

Red lips on a cigarette Lives a life with no regrets And it makes me wonder Acts tough but she's struggling Camouflage but it's wearing thin I think she's going under Dancing through the night in electric light Wishing it could be this way forever You don't have to hide, I'll be by your side It's better when we do it together Most of us are strangers Who want someone to save us We're looking out for angels And something we can hold on We are sirens, we suffer in the silence Getting tired of trying And tired of being alone, oh, oh Reach out when you're feeling low Tell me everything I need to know I wanna see you smiling Come and tell me how it really is I'm sick of keeping up appearances Don't tell me you stopped fighting Dancing through the night in electric light Wishing it could be this way forever You don't have to hide, I'll be by your side Always better when we do it together Most of us are strangers Who want someone to save us We're looking out for angels And something we can hold on We are sirens, suffer in the silence Getting tired of trying And tired of being alone, oh, oh, oh I see you start to move And then I watch you freeze Thinking they won't care for anything you speak I don't wanna lose you, I need you with me I don't wanna sit and watch history repeat I see you start to move And then I watch you freeze Thinking they won't care for anything you speak I don't wanna lose you, I need you with me I don't wanna sit and watch history repeat, oh Most of us are strangers Who want someone to save us We're looking out for angels And something we can hold on We are sirens, suffer in the silence Getting tired of trying And tired of being alone, oh, oh, oh

Breathing slowly, mechanical heartbeat Losing contact with the living Almighty TV plugged, hybrid empty brain Don't see anything real in the game The tension is building constantly No reason, just a reflex I have, driven by clockwork I try to keep an eye open, and I realize I haven't closed my eyes in a long time Neglected emotions leading to catastrophic voyage on the other side I have been given so much stress and lack of confidence I've been given the gift of so small hope deep inside I haven't closed my eyes in a long time, I am trying I cannot stomach these forms and colors anymore But I'm here to continue after all I have been through I try to keep my eyes open, I am realizing This life and death more precious than anything I won't bring no materials in the afterlife Take no possessions, I would rather travel light I'm of this kind that kills all day But I don't know yet how to die Art of dying is the way to let all go Within I practice in the secret of my soul My shape in the reflector has now forever Life on its own

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

Gave up trying to figure it out but my head got lost along the way Worn out from giving it up, but my soul I pissed it all away Do you feed these shattered nerves Pigs we get what pigs deserve I'm going all the way down, I'm leaving today Come, come, come on you've gotta fill me up Come, come, gotta let me inside of you Come, come, come on you've gotta fix me up Come, come, gotta let me inside you Still feel it all slipping away but it doesn't matter anymore Everybody's still stripping away but it doesn't matter anymore Look through these blackened eyes You'll see ten thousand lies My lips may promise but my heart is a whore Come, come, come on you've gotta fix me up Come, come, gotta let me inside of you Come, come, come on you've gotta fill me up Come, come, gotta let me get through to you This isn't meant to last This is for right now This isn't meant to last This is for right now This isn't meant to last This is for right now This isn't meant to last This is for right I know it's all getting away, and it comes to me as no surprise And I know what's coming to me is never going to arrive Fresh blood through tired skin New sweat to drown me in Dress up this rotten carcass just to make it look alive Come, come, come on you've gotta fill me up Come, come, gotta let me inside of you Come, come, come on you've gotta fix me up Come, come, gotta let me inside of you This isn't meant to last This is for right now This isn't meant to last This is for right now This isn't meant to last This is for right now This isn't meant to last This is for right now This isn't meant to last This is for right now This isn't meant to last This is for right now This isn't meant to last This is for right now This isn't meant to last This is for right I want you to take me I want you to break me Then I want you to throw me away I want you to make me I want you to take me I want you to break me Then I want you to throw me away I want you to make me I want you to take me I want you to break me Then I want you to throw me away I want you to make me I want you to take me I want you to break me Then I want you to throw me away
