right where it belongs
by trent reznor


see the animal in his cage that you built  are you sure what
side you're on?  better not look him to closely in the eye
are you sure what side of the glass you are on?  see the
safety of the life you have built  everything where it
belongs  feel the hollowness inside of your heart  and it's
all  right where it belongs  what if everything around you
isn't quite as it seems  what if all the world you think you
know  is an elaborate dream?  and if you look at your
reflection  is that all you want it to be?  what if you
could look right through the cracks  would you find
yourself - find yourself afraid to see?  what if all the
world's inside of your head  just creations of your own?
your devils and your gods all the living and the dead  and
you're really all alone?  you can live in this illusion  you
can choose to believe  you keep looking but you can't find
the woods  while you're hiding in the trees  what if
everything around you  isn't quite as it seems  what if all
the world you used to know  is an elaborate dream?  and
if you look at your reflection  is that all you want it to
be?  what if you could look right through the cracks
would you find yourself - find yourself afraid to see?
