the wretched (version)
Nine Inch Nails
Things Falling Apart (2000)

"we're meeting
we're meeting"

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

"we're meeting
we're meeting"

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 this
back at the beginning
sinking
spinning

it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
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
now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like (this is what it feels like)
now you know (now)
this is what it feels like (you can try to stop it but it keeps on coming)
(you can try to stop it but it)

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