something i can never have
by trent reznor


i still recall the taste of my tears. echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears. my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore. scraping through my head 'till i don't want to sleep anymore. come on tell me. make this all go away. you make this all go away. i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself. make this all go away. you make this all go away. i just want something. i just want something i can never have

you always were the one to show me how. back then i couldn't do the things that i can do now. this thing is slowly taking me apart. grey would be the color if i had a heart

i just want something i can never have

in this place it seems like such a shame. though it all looks different now, i know it's still the same. everywhere i look you're all i see. just a fading fucking reminder of who i used to be

come on tell me. make this all go away. you make this all go away. i'm down to just one thing and i'm starting to scare myself. make this all go away. you make this all go away. i just want something. i just want something i can never have. i just want something i can never have

think i know what you meant. that night on my bed. still picking at this scab. i wish you were dead. your sweat perry ellis. just stains on my sheets
