    You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug

    Watching all the insects march along, seem to know just right where they belong.

    I can feel their eyes are watching
    In case I lose myself again
    Sometimes I think I'm happy here
    Sometimes, yet I still pretend

    I put my faith in God, and my trust in you, now there's nothing more fucked up I can do!

    I want to, but I can't turn back, but I want to.

    from even deeper

    do you know how far this has gone?
    just how damaged have I become?
    when I think I can overcome
    it runs even deeper

    Thinking of getting this tattooed on me, I already have a NIN tattoo thinking about this to fill it out a bit more.

    What if all the world's inside of your head?
    Just creations of your own
    Your devils and your gods
    All the living and the dead
    And you're really all alone
    You can live in this illusion
    You can choose to believe
    Keep on looking but you can't find the woods
    While you're hiding in the trees

    I think this belongs here. I was flying home the other night and during the plane's descent, when going through the clouds, I sang to myself,

    'The clouds will part and the sky cracks open and God himself will reach his fucking arm through'

    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!?!?

    it's occurred on a few occasions that MOST of us have had some fairly miserable episodes in our lives, what with most of us being NIN fanboys/girls.

    Thanks for facepalming it though, @Swykk. Just so you know, I did not believe that you could sink so low.

    Stupid idea for a thread anyway.
    i don't know, i've been sensitive and paranoid lately.

    just so you know, @botley , for i minute i thought it was a situation where i thought that i had you on my side, and then realized that i didn't have fucking anything!

    oh yeah...and the reason i had that impression was partially BECAUSE Swykk facepalmed it, thus giving me the impression that i was somehow subtly being fucked with.

    Yeah, everyone has been all over my ass in the relationship thread...forgive me.

    I am just a copy of a copy of a copy. Everything I say has come before.

    Everything is catching up with me
    I awake to find I'm not at all where I should be
    And it feels I'm getting to the end
    And it's hard to figure out what's real and what's pretend

    To break from what we're tied to
    God knows how much I've tried to
    And I am still inside you
    And I am still inside you

    I escape every now and then
    And to think I find myself back here again and again
    I used to know who I was until you came along
    I return to the only place I've ever felt that I belong

    To break from what we're tied to
    God knows how much I've tried to
    And I am still inside you
    And I am still inside you

    I was 19 when TF was released ... i had been homeschooled throughout my school career, had no friends because my father said they weren't needed, and being the youngest of the fucked-up family of four children born to parents who should have never had children ... sheltered ... my parents decided to get a divorce and use me as a scapegoat.

    So ... at that point of my life and even to this day these lyrics suit my being:


    She shines
    In a world full of ugliness
    She matters
    When everything is meaningless

    Fragile
    She doesn't see her beauty
    She tries to get away

    Sometimes
    It's just that nothing seems worth saving
    I can't watch her slip away

    I won't let you fall apart

    She reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
    Hoping someone can see

    If I could fix myself I'd—
    But it's too late for me

    I won't let you fall apart

    We'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
    We'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
    …But they keep waiting
    …And picking…


    It's something I have to do
    I was there, too
    Before everything else
    I was like you

    (I gave my history because it's weird posting stuff that's very personal ... even if it's just sharing lyrics that describe you in one way or another, or how you feel.)
