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 placeI jump from every rooftop So high, so far to fall I feel a million miles away I don’t feel any thing at allI 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 moreI jump from every rooftop So high so far to fall I feel a million miles away I don’t feel any thing at allThe 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 trackAnd we are letting you get away We are letting you get away with itUpon 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 toldAnd we are letting you get away We are letting you get away with itYour armies filled with hate Believing your charade Begin to suffocate For us it’s far too lateAnd we are letting you get away We are letting you get away with itAm I still tough enough? Feels like i’m wearing down Is my visciousness Losing ground? Am I taking too much? Did I cross a line? I need my role in this Very clearly definedI need your discipline I need your help I need your discipline You know once I start I cannot help myselfAnd now it's starting up Feels like I'm losing touch Nothing matters to me Nothing matters as much I see you left a mark Up and down my skin I don't know where I end And where you beginI need your discipline I need your help I need your discipline You know once I start I cannot help myselfOnce I start I cannot stop myselfNice 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 saidMy voice just echoes off these wallsYou 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)My voice just echoes off these walls My voice just echoes off these walls I don't need anything at all My voice just echoes off these wallsAnd I just slowly fade awayYou will never ever get to me in hereYou What you looking at? Head down Too late for that What you want What you get Know your place Don't ever forgetAnd this is not my face And this is not my life And there is not a single thing here I can recognize This is all a dream And none of you are real I'll give anything I'll give anythingHey you What you running from? All your hate What you've become Bet you didn't think It would happen to you All used up Half way throughAnd this is not my face And this is not my life And there is not a single thing here I can recognize This is all a dream And none of you are real I'll give anything I'll give anythingShe's mostly gone Some other place I'm getting by In other ways Everything they whispered in our ear Is coming true Try to justify the things I used to do Believe in youWatching you drown I'll follow you down And I am here right beside you The lights in the sky Have finally arrived I am staying right beside youI tried to stay away You know Just in case I've come to realize We all have our place Time has a way, you know To make it clear I have my role in this I can't disappear Or leave you hereWatching you drown I'll follow you down And I am here right beside you The lights in the sky Are waving goodbye I am staying right beside youIt 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 youWell I am reaching the point yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahI will use my voice And I will use my fist To destroy Everything I canNow I know What this is all about Now I know Exactly what I amThere is a seed Inside of me That makes me

Trent's latest interview

Nine Inch Nails presents Ghosts I - IV, a brand new 36 track instrumental collection available right now. Almost two hours of new music composed and recorded over an intense ten week period last fall, Ghosts I - IV sprawls Nine Inch Nails across a variety of new terrain.Trent Reznor explains, "I've been considering and wanting to make this kind of record for years, but by its very nature it wouldn't have made sense until this point. This collection of music is the result of working from a very visual perspective - dressing imagined locations and scenarios with sound and texture; a soundtrack for daydreams. I'm very pleased with the result and the ability to present it directly to you without interference. I hope you enjoy the first four volumes of Ghosts."

GHOSTS I - IV in a standard CD configuration now exists in the physical universe. Look for it at your favorite place to buy music.I have been told by people that know: The standard CD will ship tomorrow. (4/8) The Deluxe Package: Pre orders made on or before 4/6 will ship 5/1 Pre orders made 4/7 or later will ship on 5/15 (this due to overwhelming demand and additional order materials arriving later) Limited Edition Package: Will ship 5/1Oh yeah, we're playing Lollapalooza!

CURRENT MOON moon phase

This world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down and around and around and it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun, for awhile... Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to ask 'is this real, or is this just a ride?' And other people have remembered and they come back to us and say, 'hey don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.' And we kill those people. 'Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real...' It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok? But it doesn't matter because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want, it's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a choice, right now. Between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as ONE. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, into a better ride: Take all that money we spend on weapons and defense each year, and instead spend it feeding, educating, and clothing the poor of the world, which it would, many times over, not one human being excluded, and we can explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever. In peace.

All matter is merely energy condensed into a slow vibration. We are all one consciousness, experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves...

THINK. RESIST. BE.
