getting smaller
by trent reznor
getting a little erratic here and i don't know who to trust i guess
they got a way of reading my mind i guess i got to adjust i got my
arms that flip flop flip flop flip i got my head on a spring well i
thought i got you on my side i haven't got fucking anything i'm just a
face in the crowd nothing to worry about not even trying to stand
out i'm getting smaller and smaller and smaller and i have nothing
to say it's all been taken away i just behave and obey i'm afraid i am
starting to fade away can kind of see out the cracks when i press up
to the wall i'm not looking to stand up real high i'd be happy to
crawl i think i'm losing my grip but i can still make a fist you
know i still got my one good arm that i can beat - i can beat myself up
with i'm just a face in the crowd nothing to worry about not even
trying to stand out i'm getting smaller and smaller and smaller and
i have nothing to say it's all been taken away i just behave and obey
i'm afraid i am starting to fade away hey and for what it is worth i
really used to believe that maybe there's some great thing that we
could achieve and now i can't tell the difference or know what to
feel between what i've been trying so hard to see and what appears
to be real my world is getting smaller every day hey hey hey hey and
that's ok
