Where Is Everybody? - Nine Inch Nails

did you happen to catch

or did it happen so fast

what you thought would always last

has passed you by is everthing speeding up or am I slowing down

I’m spinning around

and I don’t know why

all the pieces don’t fit

though I didn’t really 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 everyday

everthing pushes me farther 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 ok, enough.

you’ve had your fun

but come on there has got to be someone

hasn’t yet become

so numb

and succumb

and

god damn I am so tired of pretending

wishing I was ending

when all I’m really doing is trying to hide

and keep it inside

fill it with lies

open my eyes?

maybe I wish I could try

pleading and

needing and

bleeding and

breeding

feeding

exceding

where is everybody?

trying and

lying

defying

denying

crying and

dying

where is everybody?

pleading

feeding

bleeding

breeding

feeding

exceding

where is everybody?

trying

lying

defying

denying

crying and

dying

where is everybody?
