Nine Inch Nails - "The Wretched"

just a reflection
it's just a glimpse
just a little reminder
of all the what about's
and all the might have
could have been's
another day
some other way
but not another reason to continue
and now you're one of us
the wretched

the hope and pray
for better days
the far aways
forget it
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?
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 this hole with the s**t and the piss
and it's hard to believe it could come down 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

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

now
you know
this is what it feels like
now
you know
this is what it feels like

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 it...
