tried to save myself but
2003-04-09 @ 6:52 p.m.
girlfriend . what a nice word to throw into the middle of a conversation, with the last girl you said i love you to .
i wonder if the french/spanish boy i've been lookin at is still available .
nine inch nails . even deeper
i woke up today
to find myself in the other place
with a trail of my footprints
from where i ran away
seems everything i've heard
just might be true
and you know me
well you think you do
sometimes i have everything
yet i wish i felt something
do you know how far this has gone
just how damaged have i become
when i think i can overcome
it runs even deeper
in a dream i'm a different me
with a perfect you
we fit perfectly
and for once in my life
i feel complete
and i still want to ruin it
afraid to look
as clear as day
this plan has long been underway
i hear them call
i cannot stay
the voice inviting me away
do you know how far this has gone
just how damaged have i become
when i think i can overcome
it runs even deeper
everything that matters is gone
all the hands of hope have withdrawn
could you try to help me hang on ?
it runs ..
i'm straight, i won't crack
on my way and i can't turn back
i'm okay, i'm on track
on my way and i can't turn back
i stayed on this track
gone too far and i can't come back
i stayed on this track
lost my way, can't come back
. into the void
tried to save myself
but myself keeps slipping away
talking to myself
all the way to the station
pictures in my head
of the final destination
all lined up all the ones
that aren't allowed to stay
tried to save myself
but myself keeps slipping away
tried to save a place
from the cuts and the scratches
tried to overcome
the complications and the catches
nothing ever grows and the
sun doesn't shine all day
tried to save myself
but myself keeps slipping away
tried to save myself
but myself keeps slipping away
