Down In It - Nine Inch Nails

Kinda like a cloud I was up way up in the sky

And I was feeling some feelings you wouldn’t believe

Sometimes I don’t believe them myself

And I decided I was never coming down

Just then a tiny little dot

Caught my eye it was just about, just about too small to see

But I watched it way too long

It was pulling me down

Shut up!

So what, what does it matter now?

I was swimming in the haze now I crawl on the ground

And everything I never liked about you is kinda seeping into me

Try to laugh about it now but isn’t it funny how everything works out

«I guess the joke’s on me,» she said

I was up above it

Now I’m down in it

I used to be so big and strong!

I used to know my right from wrong!

I used to never be afraid!

I used to be somebody!

I used to have something inside!

Now just this whole that’s open wide!

I used to want it all!

I used to be somebody.

I’ll cross my heart I’ll hope to die

But the needle’s already in my eye

And all the world’s weight is on my back

And I don’t even know why

What I used to think was me

Is just a fading memory

I looked him right in the eye and said «Goodbye»

I was up above it

Now I’m down in it
