Been listening to a lot of Trent Reznor. Specifically All That Could Have Been and Halo 17 Disc 2. In this column you'll find lyrics to The Wretched. I wish I could come up with stuff like this. Well, it's either that or maybe it's the comfort in fact that someone else is more ticked off about relationships than I am.
Nine Inch Nails - The Wretched
Just a reflection
Just a glimpse
Just a little reminder
Of all the what abouts
And all the might have beens
The could have beens

Another day
Some other way
But not another reason to continue
And now you're one of us
The wretched

The hopes and prays
For better days
The far aways
Forget it

It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?

Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like

The clouds will part and the sky cracks open
And God himself will reach his arm through
Just to push you down
Just to hold you down
Stuck in the hole
It's hard to believe it could come to this
Back at the beginning
Sinking
Spinning

And in the end
We still pretend
The time we spend
Not knowing when
You're finally free
And you could be

It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it to

Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like

You can try to stop it but it keeps on coming
You can try to stop it but
In this column you'll find a song from the brilliant 80s band Duran Duran. They are good at hitting the mark and this time they hit the bullseye. It's also got a great melody and you can dance to it. I believe you can also throw flaming poop while listening to it as well, but the warning label on the CD said not to try it.
Do You Believe In Shame? (LeBon, Rhodes, Taylor)

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in shame?
And if love can conquer all then why do we only feel the pain?

I heard you speak my name, heard you singing The Stones,
Maybe heard you laughing in a line of static on my telephone

So why your eyelids are closed, inside a case of rust,
And did you have to change all your poets fire into frozen dust?

I've tried to justify it, to learn from your mistake,
But where's the stupid lie that has to make it's point -
With such a pointless waste.

Come out...

Do you believe in shame?
Do you believe in love?
And if they taste the same would you love again or abandon both?

I don't think I ever can, believe my friend has gone,
Keep saying it's alright,
I'm going to bring you back but I know I'm wrong.
There's nothing I can say, there's nothing left to do
It's just that lately I feel so damn lonely when I think of you

And it may seem selfish now, but I'll hold on to the memory
Until all this fear is washed away

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in life?
'Cos I believe a little part of you inside of me will never die..

'Cos I believe a little part of you inside of me will never die..
'Cos I believe a little part of you inside of me will never die..
'Cos I believe a little part of you inside of me will never... die.
