Things Falling Apart

Nine Inch Nails Things Falling Apart Lyrics
1.Slipping Away


2.The Great Collapse


3.The Wretched

just a reflection
just a glimpse
just a little reminder
of all the what abouts
and all the might have
could have beens
another day
some other way
but not another reason to continue
and now you're one of us
the wretched

the hopes and prays
the better days
the far aways
forget it

it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?

now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like

the clouds will part and the sky cracks open
and god himself will reach his fucking arm through
just to push you down
just to hold you down
stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss
and it's hard to believe it could come down to thisback at the
beginning
sinking
spinning

and in the end
we still pretend
the time we spend
not knowing when
you're finally free
and you could be

but it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it

now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like

you can try to stop it but it keeps on coming
you can try to stop it but

7.Where Is Everybody

did you happen to catch
or did it happen so fast
what you thought would always last
has passed you by
is everything speeding up
or am i slowing down
just spinning around
and i don't know why
all the pieces don't fit
thought i really didn't give a shit
i never wanted to be like you
but for all i aspire
i am really a liar
and i'm running out of things i can do

i'd like to stay
but every day
everything pushes me further away
if you could show
help me to know
how it's supposed to be
where did it go?

pleading and
needing and
bleeding and
breeding and
feeding

exceeding
where is everybody?
trying and
lying
defying
denying
crying and
dying
where is everybody

well okay, enough
you've had your fun
but come on there has got to be someone
that hasn't yet become
so numb
and succumb
and
god damn i am so tired of pretending
of wishing i was ending
when all i'm really doing is trying to hide
and keep it inside
and fill it with lies
open my eyes?
maybe i wish i could try

pleading and
needing and
bleeding and
breeding and
feeding
exceeding
where is everybody?
trying and
lying
defying
denying
crying and
dying
where is everybody

4.Starfuckers, Inc.(Adrian Sherwood Remix)

my god is in the back of the limousine
my god comes in a wrapper of cellophane
my god pouts on the cover of the magazine
my god is a shallow little bitch trying to make a scene
i have arrived and this time you should believe the hype
i listened to everyone now i know that everyone was right
i'll be there for you as long as it works for me
i play a game it's called insincerity
starfuckers
starfuckers
i am every fucking thing and just a little more
i sold my soul but don't you dare call me a whore
and when i suck you off not a drop not a drop will go to waste
it's really not so bad you know once you get past the taste
(asskisser), yeah
starfuckers
starfuckers
starfuckers, inc.
all our pain
how did you think we'd get by without you?
you're so vain
i bet you think this song is about you
don't you?
now i belong, i'm one of the chosen ones
now i belong, i'm one of the beautiful ones

9.10 Miles High(Keith Hillebrandt Remix)

i'm going to get so high
you'll never get inside
i swore i'd never turn into you
i'm closer all the time

i made it 10 miles high
can't tell my truth from my lies
i swore to god i would never turn into you
i'm getting closer... all the time

tear it all down
tear it all down
tear it all down
tear it all down
