Nine Inch Nails - The Slip

Page 1



Kind of hard Hard to see When you crawl On your hands and your knees With your face In the trough Wait your turn While they finish you off Don’t know when it started Don’t know how Should have found out Should have happened by now Got these lines On my face After all this time And i still haven’t found my place

I wake up On the floor Start it up again Like it matters anymore I don’t know If it does Is this really all That there ever was? Put the gun In my mouth Close your eyes Blow my fucking brains out Pretty patterns On the floor That’s enough for you But i still need more

I jump from every rooftop So high, so far to fall I feel a million miles away I don’t feel any thing at all

I jump from every rooftop So high so far to fall I feel a million miles away I don’t feel any thing at all


The sky is painted black The smoke pours out the stack One hand upon your heart One hand behind your back You train us how to act You keep the fear intact The imminent attack Everything is right on track

And we are letting you get away We are letting you get away with it Your armies filled with hate Believing your charade Begin to suffocate For us it’s far too late And we are letting you get away

And we are letting you get away We are letting you get away with it Upon our plates to feed The dying left to bleed How much we really need Your politics of greed The cancer takes ahold The wolf is in the fold Our destiny’s been sold We do just what we’re told




[ Instrumental ]



It keeps growing And I can feel it breathe I have been trying To behave myself It keeps growing And I can feel it breathe I have been trying To tolerate you Well I am reaching the point Yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah I thought maybe I thought this would go away But it continues The only constant Every day Stronger

I will use my voice And I will use my fist To destroy Everything I can Now I know What this is all about Now I know Exactly what I am These is a seed Inside of me That makes me


Nice and high and far apart Just like they said I built this place with broken parts Just like they said You chip away the old version of you You'd be surprised at what you can do I'm safe in here Irrelevant Just like they said My voice just echoes off these walls You feel me breathe I am watching you I see it all The many ways you can't get to me I see it all I see the hell you put yourself through Oh, the things I could do (If I wanted to)

I don't need anything at all My voice just echoes off these walls And I just slowly fade away

My voice just echoes off these walls My voice just echoes off these walls

You will never ever get to me in here
