And All That Could Have Been

Nine Inch Nails And All That Could Have Been Lyrics
1.Terrible Lie(Sympathetic Mix)

Hey god, why are you doing this to me?
Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be?
Why am I seething with this animosity?
Hey god, I think you owe me a great big apology

Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie

Hey god, I really don't know what you mean
Seems like salvation comes only in our dreams
I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme
Hey god, can this world really be as sad as it seems

Don't take it away from me
I need someone to hold on to
Don't take it away from me
I need someone to hold on to

Hey god, there's nothing left for me to hide
I lost my ignorance, security and pride
I'm all alone in a world you must despise
Hey god, I believed the promises, the promises and lies

You made me throw it all away
My morals left to decay
How many you betray
You've taken everything

My head is filled with disease
My skin is begging you please
I'm on my hands and knees
I want so much to believe

I give you everything
My sweet everything
Hey god, I really don't know who I am
In this world of piss.


2.Sin

You give me the reason
You give me control
I gave you my purity
My purity you stole
Did you think I wouldn't recognize this compromise
Am I just too stupid to realize
Stale incense, old sweat and lies, lies, lies

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

You give me the anger
You give me the nerve
Carry out the sentence
I get what I deserve
I'm just an effigy to be defaced
To be disgraced
Your need for me has been replaced
And if I can't have everything, well then, just give me a taste.
