[Listening to: Closer (Deviation) - Nine Inch Nails - Closer to God (06:15)]

I tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone.
But though you're still with me
I've been alone -
all along

Closing my eyes to disappear
I pray my dreams will leave me here,
But still i wake and know the truth -
No one's there.

I need you for dark reasons, dear
For greed and lust and seed and fear
For all the screams I hear when u are near

i broke apart my insides
i've got no soul to sell

I've lied to you
The same way that I always do
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you

I'd listen to the words you'd say
The plastic face forced to portray
All the insides left cold and gray
There is a place that still remains
It eats the fear it eats the pain
The sweetest price she'll have to pay
The day the whole world went away

This world rejects me
This world threw me away
This world never gave me a chance
This world gonna have to pay

Something inside of me
Has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there?
Did you not realize
This thing inside of me
It screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could

Burn...

I'm gonna burn this whole world down...
