Lyrics Nine Inch Nails

Nine Inch Nails

Terrible Lie

Hey God, why are you doing this to me?

Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be?

Why am I seething with this animosity?

Hey God, I think you owe me a great big apology

Terrible lie

Hey God, I really don't know what you mean

Seems like salvation comes only in our dreams

I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme

Hey God, can this world really be as sad as it seems

Terrible Lie

Don't take it away from me

I need someone to hold on to

Don't take it away from me

I need someone to hold on to

Hey God, there's nothing left for me to hide

I lost my ignorance, security and pride

I'm all alone in a world you must despise

Hey God, I believed the promises, the promises and lies

Terrible Lie

You made me throw it all away

My morals left to decay

How many you betray

You've taken everything

Terrible Lie

My head is filled with disease

My skin is begging you please

I'm on my hands and knees

I want so much to believe

I need someone to hold on to

I need someone to hold on to

I need someone

I need someone to hold on to

I give you everything

My sweet everything

Hey God, I really don't know who I am

In this world of piss
